Erik ten Hag's line-up to face Omonia Nicosia was always going to include a surprise element to it, whether that was through senior stars being involved or forgotten faces getting a rare runout.
In the end, it was the former. Manchester United went just about as strong as is possible for a Europa League group stage game, with heavy-hitters featuring from the start and others selected on the bench.
It seems that until their place in the knockout round is secured, Ten Hag won't be giving peripheral figures and the youngsters a chance. Even then, he might go full strength for the final match away at Sociedad in an effort to secure top spot in the group and avoid an extra play-off match.
