ERIK TEN HAG has named his first Manchester United line-up of the season for a friendly versus Leeds.
The Red Devils meet the recently relegated side in Norway this evening.
Mason Mount will make his Man Utd debut following his move from Chelsea.
And Amad Diallo is also starting after impressing on loan at Sunderland.
The forgotten winger joined United in 2021 from Atalanta and has since had loan spells at Rangers and the Black Cats, where he was one of the standout players in the Championship, netting 14 goals.
Ten Hag has also given an opportunity to Omari Forson.

There is an ongoing goalkeeper crisis at Old Trafford due to Dean Henderson being injured, David De Gea leaving and no replacement yet being signed.
Therefore, experienced Tom Heaton starts, who has never featured in a competitive match for United.
The 37-year-old previously played for Burnley and Aston Villa.
Fans were left slightly confused by the line-up, one said: "I have no idea who's playing ST."
Others loved it: "Amad, Mainoo, Alvaro, Hannibal, Forson. I am excited to watch them play as well as Mount and Licha I missed seeing Licha play it's been ages."
Another was happy to see Man Utd return to the pitch: "Ten Hag ball is back."
Starting XI
It is only right that those players who took part in internationals are given extra time off but the line-up will have had some fans double checking Wikipedia.
Goalkeeper
Not that this is expected to be a trial to take on the number one spot full-time for the Heaton, who is very much in reserve.
Martinez is back
The good news is the return to action of Lisandro Martinez who has been out since last April when he got injured against Sevilla.
Mount Debut
While there has been some frustration over the lack of acquisitions the Mason Mount deal did at least get over the line at £55million plus £5million add ons.
Who is Forson?
Of all the lack of household names on the team sheet one that had even seasoned United watchers asking ‘who?’ was Omari Forson.
