Man City vs Man Utd lineups: Anthony Martial starts - team news and confirmed starting XIs

Tom Doyle7 December 2019

Anthony Martial is fit enough to start for Manchester United, with the French forward leading the line against Manchester City.

Martial missed United's 2-1 win over Tottenham in midweek due to a muscle strain, but is back to boost Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's options up top against the Premier League champions.

Luke Shaw has been handed a start at left-back, while Jesse Lingard's resurgence continues with another start as Mason Greenwood and Ashley Young drop to the bench.

As for City, Pep Guardiola has elected to keep Fernandinho at centre-back, with Rodri in the middle alongside Kevin de Bruyne.
