Erik ten Hag has quickly formed a clear picture of his most effective team at Manchester United.
Four Premier League games have seen minimal changes to his team selection and have resulted in four consecutive wins after the Dutch coach made bold calls to drop the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Maguire.
But the arrival of the Europa League group stage allows Ten Hag the perfect opportunity to shuffle his pack and Thursday night's game against Real Sociedad is likely to see a very different United XI.
Summer acquisitions have strengthened competition for places within the squad, leaving a number of players desperate to seize their chance to impress on Europa Thursdays and get back in the weekend side.
