Manuel Ugarte could make his first start at Old Trafford when Manchester United host Barnsley in the third round of the Carabao Cup.

Erik ten Hag is expected to make a series of changes to his side when United take on Barnsley tomorrow night.

We are expecting the likes of Matthijs de Ligt, Lisandro Martinez and Noussair Mazraoui to come out of the team – with one eye on the weekend trip to Crystal Palace rather than injury cautions.

In turn, we could see Harry Maguire, Jonny Evans, Antony and Alejandro Garnacho come into the starting line-up.

Manuel Ugarte is likely to be handed his first start after making his debut off the bench in the 3-0 win over Southampton on Saturday. There could also be room for Toby Collyer to shine in midfield.

Second-choice goalkeeper Altay Bayindir will hope for a rare appearance, should Andre Onana get the night off.

Manchester United predicted XI: Bayindir; Dalot, Maguire, Evans, Amass; Ugarte, Casemiro, Collyer; Antony, Zirkzee, Garnacho.
