With the exception of Martin Dubravka starting in place of David de Gea between the sticks, the teamsheet did not carry too many surprises when it was released ahead of Manchester United's 4-2 friendly defeat to Cadiz CF on Wednesday night.
Taking a pool of 29 players to Spain with him for this week's training camp and two friendlies, United manager Erik ten Hag was always expected to name as strong a line-up as possible for the clash with the La Liga strugglers. His starting line-up featured a blend of both youth and experience, including the likes of Teden Mengi, Scott McTominay and Anthony Martial.
Although it was not light on quality, it was a far cry from the XI that we have become so used to seeing under Ten Hag this season. But with most of the Dutchman's most senior stars still in Qatar at the World Cup it was always to be expected.
