Javier Hernandez and Shinji Kagawa have been given their chance to shine as Manchester United look to consolidate their top-two position in Champions League Group A against Real Sociedad at Old Trafford.
Robin van Persie isn't even on the bench, while Adnan Januzaj is among the substitutes as United, with four points from their opening two games, look to impose themselves on a team that has lost both their matches so far.
The game is as much notable for the trial of a 1500 'singing section' aimed at generating a greater atmosphere inside a stadium swelled by a 6000-strong visiting contingent.
