New signing Leny Yoro will make his Manchester United debut in a friendly against Rangers on Saturday, with Jadon Sancho also making his return to action.

18-year-old defender Yoro has been named in Erik ten Hag’s starting lineup for the game in Edinburgh after completing his £52m move from Lille.

Sancho, who is back at United after his loan spell at Borussia Dortmund and having called a truce with ten Hag, has also been included in the team. 

It will be the first time that Sancho will have featured for United since he played against Nottingham Forest in August last year.

Goalkeeper Andre Onana and winger Amad Diallo will also feature against Rangers at Murrayfield Stadium.

First-team players Jonny Evans, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro and Mason Mount have all been named in the starting lineup. 

Youngsters Sam Murray, Toby Collyer and Ethan Wheatley also start. 

United are without Marcus Rashford, Antony and Victor Lindelof, who the club say have small niggles. 

Harry Maguire, meanwhile, is back in training after injury but isn’t yet fit enough to play.

Tyrell Malacia is continuing his fitness programme, while Scott McTominay is building up his sharpness after returning from representing Scotland at Euro 2024. 

Goalkeeper Andre Onana is set to be given his first minutes of pre-season action

Amad Diallo is another first-team player who is back involved for United against Rangers
