Ruud van Nistelrooy's first Manchester United lineup saw four changes from the previous match, reflecting a balance between maintaining consistency and experimenting with younger talent.
With Andre Onana rested, Altay Bayindir took up the goalkeeper role and solidified his position after a strong performance in the previous Carabao Cup round.
The retention of key players like Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes in midfield provides stability as Van Nistelrooy begins his interim management in a critical period.
Involving teenagers Harry Amass, Ethan Wheatley, and Jayce Fitzgerald reflects an emphasis on youth integration, characteristic of Manchester United's long-standing developmental ethos.
