England striker Marcus Rashford will be given the opportunity to build on his two goals in the FA Cup with a starting berth in the first leg of Manchester United’s EFL Cup semi-final against Hull City.
Anthony Martial, who was also among the goals in the victory over Reading, drops to the bench, with Rashford due to be flanked by Henrikh Mkhitaryan and captain Wayne Rooney in a team with seven changes from Sunday’s game.
David de Gea returns to the starting line-up after making way for Sergio Romero at the weekend, while Paul Pogba returns after also watching the weekend’s action from the bench.
