Manchester United team news has leaked out early ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash with Fulham. Erik ten Hag will be hoping to guide his side to victory when the match commences at Craven Cottage. And Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Anthony Martial are all supposedly set to start the game as the Red Devils look to boost their chances of qualifying for next season’s Champions League.
Manchester United will go into today’s game on a high after beating Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup on Thursday night.
However, the Red Devils will also be aiming to return to winning ways in the Premier League after losing to Villa 3-1 last weekend.
It is United’s last game before the World Cup in Qatar gets started, with Ten Hag hopeful of the Red Devils ending the first half of the season on a positive note.
And Twitter user @CS45Sam, who has leaked a few of the club’s starting XIs so far this season, has now delivered some early team news.
It’s claimed Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw are both set to start the game.

Speaking about the 26-year-old prior to the contest in west London, Ten Hag admitted he was frustrated with the attacker’s injury issues this term.
“Of course, we analyse that and he’s analysing that, what can we do to change that?” he said.
“We took some measures to do that, so it’s always when you often have injuries and illness, there is a reason.
“Sometimes it’s also bad luck and he was really in a good way and then last 10 mins in Atletico Madrid, he got an injury and that threw him really back.
“I’m so happy he’s back now and that we can manage him and that he stays fit because he is an important part of the squad.

“He plays very well in a lot of aspects of football, I’m happy with that, except his availability.
“It’s quite clear in my way of playing, I like the type that Anthony Martial is because he can hold the ball, he’s a target, he can link up, he can also run behind, he has speed, he can finish and he’s a good presser.”
And Ten Hag has also suggested he’s worried about his current crop of forwards.
The goals have dried up for Ronaldo, who has netted just three times since the start of the season.
And Antony and Jadon Sancho have had some minor fitness issues, too.

Ten Hag has now decided to go public with his worries, admitting he feels United need more if they’re to evolve.
“In the front line, the availability of the players that is a concern for us,” he said.
“We had so many games, like Newcastle United, Marcus Rashford ill.
“We had to play some other games where we have to improvise to construct a proper offensive line.
“If you can’t do that, then it’s really difficult to get into the first four, if you don’t have the players to construct a proper offensive line.”
