Jose Mourinho has been fielding makeshift starting XIs in Manchester United's past few Premier League games with the UEFA Europa League final against Ajax Amsterdam tonight in mind. Here's how the Red Devils are expected to line up.
Click through the gallery above to see United's expected line-up for the Europa League final, as published by ESPN.
The Portuguese tactician gave three United youngsters, including 16-year-old Angel Gomes, their debuts in his side's final league game of the campaign on Sunday.
Many key players, including Antonio Valencia, Ander Herrera and Marcus Rashford, were rested, while Paul Pogba was substituted off just before half-time in the 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.
Mourinho has often stated in recent weeks he is rotating his squad heavily in order for the players to arrive in their best possible shape for the Europa League final against Ajax.
United need to lift the trophy in order to qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League, otherwise Mourinho's first season at Old Trafford will be widely regarded as a failure.
So how will the 54-year-old line his team up against Ajax's young guns? Here is ESPN's suggestion.
The United boss has already confirmed that Sergio Romero will be his goalkeeper in the final, pushing David de Gea to the bench.
His defence could be made up of Valencia, Phil Jones, Daley Blind and Matteo Darmian, while Herrera, Pogba and Marouane Fellaini are likely to feature in midfield, according to ESPN.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan, United's joint best goalscorer in Europe this season, is expected to start on the right wing, while Jesse Lingard could fill the opposite flank.
Up front, Rashford is expected to lead the line after scoring two goals and assisting another three strikes in the quarter-finals and semi-finals for United.
This expected line-up would leave the following players on the bench: De Gea, Chris Smalling, Michael Carrick, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Juan Mata, Anthony Martial and Wayne Rooney.
