Paul Pogba dropped — Manchester United fans pick line up vs Liverpool

Manchester United fans want Ralf Rangnick to make a big call in midfield against Liverpool this evening, and leave Paul Pogba out of his line-up.

United head to Anfield this evening to take on their old rivals, having seen new life breathed into their top four hopes at the weekend. They face a huge test of their credentials tonight (8pm kick off) though, as they come up against Jurgen Klopp’s quadruple-hunting side.

United would love to leave big dent in those hopes as they make the short journey over to Merseyside. With Liverpool riding high after their FA Cup semi-final win over Manchester City though, the visitors will have to defy the odds to claim a result.

Once again, Rangnick has a number of big decisions to make this evening, especially in midfield where injuries have limited his options. Despite that, fans are calling for changes once again, with one big name in particular missing out.

Our team selector and many fan submissions were made before news of the tragic death of Cristiano Ronaldo's newborn son and, at the time of writing, there is no word on Ronaldo's availability or possible compassionate leave. All at MEN send our condolences to Ronaldo, his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez and their family.

Pogba is the most notable absence from the most popular side selected by supporters for this evening’s game at Anfield. Fans are instead calling for Nemanja Matic to return to the side, with Jesse Lingard and Bruno Fernandes retaining their places from the win over Norwich. Scott McTominay and Fred, along with Raphael Varane, Luke Shaw and Edinson Cavani are all unlikely to feature with injury.

There’s just one more change made to the side that started Saturday’s victory over the Canaries, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka returning in place of Diogo Dalot at right-back. Up top, Anthony Elanga and Jadon Sancho remain either side of the weekend’s hat-trick hero Cristiano Ronaldo.

United fans’ starting line-up vs Liverpool: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Telles; Matic, Fernandes, Lingard; Elanga, Ronaldo, Sancho.
