Manchester United have announced their first XI to take on Valerenga in a pre-season friendly - and Red Devils fans have all made the same observation.

And no, before you start, it isn't that £75million man Romelu Lukaku has been omitted from the first team, nor that Marcus Rashford has been selected ahead of him.

Well, it is a pre-season friendly after all.

There really is no reason to panic as it's just a case of Jose Mourinho experimenting with his squad and giving everyone a run-out.

Maroune Fellaini has also been selected to start the game, despite recent speculation linking with a move to Galatasaray.

But no, United fans didn't really react to this either. Instead, one omitted name caught their attention... although, there is a pretty good reason he has been omitted.

The man in question is of course Nemanja Matic.

Now, as things stand the Serbian is still a Chelsea player, despite the fact he is very close to signing for the Old Trafford club.

It's a badly kept secret, that sort of thing, and as a result, Red Devils supporters couldn't help but crack the joke - or rather, as the question - where is Matic?

Brilliant!

Apart from this fan... there's always one!
