Bruno Fernandes will captain Manchester United for the first time as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s “depleted” side kick off their Champions League campaign without Harry Maguire, Edinson Cavani and Mason Greenwood.

After a year away from European football’s top table, the Red Devils will step out in the competition for the first time since bowing out in the quarter-finals against Barcelona in April 2019.
