Erik ten Hag has opted to be bold by leaving Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Maguire out of Manchester United 's starting XI.
The Red Devils have lost both their games thus far and are in need of a response against arch rivals Liverpool. The drubbing at the hands of Brentford last weekend exposed the team's flaws and saw the players come in for huge criticism with changes being demanded.
Roy Keane and Gary Neville both urged the new United boss to stamp his authority after such a defeat last time out. Ronaldo, the team's talisman, has spoken about wanting to leave whilst Maguire has long kept his starting role and was backed as captain by Ten Hag.
