Fixture: Manchester United vs Hull City
Competition: EFL Cup
Kick-off: 20:00 (UK time)

Manchester United have officially named their starting eleven and substitutes to host Hull City in the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final tie.

Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho knows his men start as firm favourites to take a commanding grip of the tie by piling the misery on Hull, who have a new manager in the dugout in the shape of Marco Silva. However, for the visitors the pressure is off, as they are clear underdogs to reach Wembley.




To get the job done at Old Trafford and put Manchester United in pole position to reach the final, Mourinho picks Marcus Rashford to spearhead the attack, with support from Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Paul Pogba slots into midfield alongside Ander Herrera, while Phil Jones and Chris Smalling are the central pair in defence.

On the bench, Mourinho has Anthony Martial if he needs to bring on another striker, while Marouane Fellaini is another option.
