Manchester United predicted line up vs FC Twente as Ugarte starts and Hojlund decision made

United, who have never previously faced the Dutch outfit, will be keen to get back to winning ways after Saturday's frustrating goalless draw with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. The Reds created a plethora of opportunities, particularly in the first half, but failed to make the home side pay.
