Manchester United could make as many as nine changes for Wednesday night’s crunch Champions League fixture with Young Boys at Old Trafford. The Red Devils go into the game with their qualification to the knockout stages of the tournament already assured. And Ralf Rangnick has promised to tinker with his side as a result.

Therefore, the Spain international is likely to have to settle for a place in the bench. He could even be afforded the evening off altogether, with Tom Heaton ready to deputise for Henderson.
Defensively, Raphael Varane is still out while it’s unknown if Luke Shaw is ready to return from injury.
Consequently, United fans can expect Victor Lindelof and Alex Telles to keep their places in the side - with Eric Bailly and Aaron Wan-Bissaka potentially coming in.
For midfield, Rangnick also confirmed Donny van de Beek would start the match.
The Netherlands international rarely got a chance under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer yet, with the 48-year-old no longer in charge, is likely to be given some chances to prove his worth.
Alongside him could be Nemanja Matic, who faced the media with Rangnick on Tuesday afternoon.
Now, for the attacking positions, United may opt to give Bruno Fernandes another rest.
The Portugal international was dropped for the recent 2-0 win over Villarreal and though he’s since been reinstated to the team, another demotion could be on the cards.
In his place United may pick Jesse Lingard, with Jadon Sancho on the right.
And if the Red Devils use Rangnick’s favoured 4-2-2-2 system, Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford would likely be given the nod up top.
