Martinez and Garnacho start - Manchester United fans name line-up they want to see vs Everton

Supporters are calling for Erik ten Hag to make five alterations to his Manchester United side against Everton, with World Cup hero Lisandro Martinez and teenager Alejandro Garnacho returning.

United have totted-up four straight victories following the World Cup break and kick-start their FA Cup charge at Old Trafford tonight (8pm). But will Ten Hag stick or twist with his starting XI?

Donny van de Beek will miss the game through injury, with United providing an update on his condition during the build-up, but Antony and Anthony Martial are available.

This is the most popular line-up Manchester Evening News readers have chosen after having their say using our team selector widget:

Goalkeeper - David de Gea

Despite top clubs usually opting to keep their second or third choice goalkeeper warm in cup matches, particularly during the early rounds, United supporters want to see David de Gea wear the gloves tonight. Jack Butland will add competition in that area - alongside Tom Heaton - after his loan arrival was confirmed.

Defenders - Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw

United haven't conceded a goal since the season resume, despite utilising different defensive combinations in each game. Diogo Dalot and Martinez will come back into the reckoning, and this could be an ideal chance for them to rack up some minutes before the Manchester derby on January 14.

Midfielders - Christian Eriksen, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes

Arguably the strongest trio available to Ten Hag right now and certainly the one in which he has placed the most trust since stepping into the hot-seat. Christian Eriksen and Casemiro are his signings, while Bruno Fernandes has thrived with those two for esteemed company this season.

Forwards - Antony, Anthony Martial, Alejandro Garnacho

Due to Cristiano Ronaldo leaving and Jadon Sancho still being absent, United are not exactly blessed with options in this area right now, so Antony returning comes as a major plus-point. Marcus Rashford has been in top form this season, but supporters want to see Garnacho start with the England forward rested.

IN: Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Antony, Garnacho.

OUT: Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Van de Beek, Rashford.
