Manchester United welcome Fulham to Old Trafford for the final game of their Premier League season and Erik ten Hag has decided to hand Alejandro Garnacho a rare start.
United achieved their main objective for the season on Thursday, their 4-1 win at home to Chelsea securing a top-four finish and a place in next season's Champions League. Ten Hag's side can still move down the table on the final day, but three points at home to the Cottagers will see them end the campaign in third.
Confirmation of a top-four finish would usually see plenty of rotation for the final day, but with an FA Cup final with Manchester City to look forward to, Ten Hag will be looking to not lose the winning momentum. And as such, the Reds boss has named a strong team for the final day.

Marcus Rashford has returned to the starting line-up for the first time in nearly three weeks, with a combination of injury and illness keeping him sidelined until an earlier-than-planned substitutes appearance on Thursday evening. The 25-year-old will lead the line, with Jadon Sancho on the right and Garnacho in for a first league start since February.
In midfield, Fred has come in for Christian Eriksen in the only change. The Brazilian starts alongside Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes, with the latter moving forward and operating in his usual No.10 role.
Luke Shaw was spotted in training on Saturday but the left-back has not fully recovered from the injury that saw him replaced on Thursday evening. His absence has allowed Harry Maguire to return to the starting line-up alongside Victor Lindelof. Tyrell Malacia will operate to their left, while Diogo Dalot has been preferred to Aaron Wan-Bissaka to complete a back-four in front of David de Gea.
It's the inclusion of Garnacho that has grabbed the headlines on social media, with fans clearly hoping to see more of the youngster before next weekend's FA Cup final.
United starting XI in full: De Gea; Dalot, Maguire, Lindelöf, Malacia; Casemiro, Fred, Fernandes; Sancho, Garnacho, Rashford
Subs: Butland, Varane, Shaw, Wan-Bissaka, Eriksen, McTominay, Pellistri, Martial, Weghorst
