Juan Mata - Takes two shots in draw Mata took two shots (one on target) and created a chance in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Young Boys. He also won one of three tackles in the match.

Impact Mata made his third appearance of the season on Wednesday, and his first start in either the Premier League or Champions League. He looked solid in midfield, and while the 33-year-old won't be able to be relied upon regularly, he proved he can still be a valuable squad player for United.

Jesse Lingard - Creates two chances in draw Lingard made an interception and created two chances in Wednesday's 1-1 Champions League draw against Young Boys. He also won two of two tackles in the match.

Impact Lingard was solid if unspectacular against Young Boys on Wednesday. While he didn't do anything particularly wrong, he probably hasn't done enough to convince new manager Ralf Rangnick to start him again immediately at the weekend versus Norwich.

Tom Heaton - Subs on in Champions League Heaton replaced Dean Henderson in goal at the 68th minute of Wednesday's Champions League draw against Young Boys.

Impact Heaton didn't have much to do during his senior Manchester United debut on Wednesday -- having come through the club's youth teams almost 20 years ago. He still remains the third-choice keeper at the club, but new manager Ralf Rangnick wanted to give as many players a chance as possible against Young Boys.

Dean Henderson - Concedes goal against Young Boys Henderson made three saves but conceded a goal before being subbed out in the 68th minute of Wednesday's Champions League draw against Young Boys.

Impact Henderson was beaten by a Fabian Rieder strike in what was just his second appearance of the season on Wednesday -- the first came in the Carabao Cup against West Ham. He was hooked just over 20 minutes left in the game but the substitution did not seem to be motivated by injury, rather just so new manager Ralf Rangnick could see as many players as possible.

Luke Shaw - Records assist against Young Boys Shaw assisted Mason Greenwood's goal in Wednesday's 1-1 Champions League draw against Young Boys.

Impact Shaw made his first appearance since Nov. 20 on Wednesday after recovering from two concussions, and he grabbed his second assist of the season with a cross. He should be in the lineup again Saturday versus Norwich, which have scored just eight goals in 15 Premier League matches.

Mason Greenwood - Scores goal against Young Boys Greenwood scored a goal and created a chance in Wednesday's 1-1 Champions League draw against Young Boys. He also made two clearances and won one of one tackles in the match.

Impact Greenwood slotted home a delightful volley on Wednesday for his first Champions League goal of the season. The 20-year-old has a goal and an assist now in just under two hours of playing time under new manager Ralf Rangnick, and he's adjusting well to the new style of play.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka - Stretchered off against Young Boys Wan-Bissaka was stretchered off the pitch after the final whistle of Wednesday's Champions League draw against Young Boys after crashing into the advertising boards. According to R...

Impact More details about Wan-Bissaka's injury should become available in the coming days, but Diogo Dalot could replace him at right-back against Norwich on Saturday if necessary. Given that Dalot has started the last two league matches, that'll likely be the case on a short week.

Luke Shaw - Back in starting XI Shaw (concussion) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Young Boys.

Impact Shaw returns to the XI Wednesday after suffering two concussions in back-to-back matches. Given the youngsters in the lineup, he'll probably be asked to go a full 90, assuming he's fit enough after missing the last couple weeks. It's also likely he'll be on a split of set pieces, at a minimum.

Jesse Lingard - Starting against Young Boys Lingard (knock) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Young Boys.

Impact Lingard gets the start Wednesday with a few of United's other youngsters and it's his first of the season. He'll hope to impress the new manager and it wouldn't be surprising if he went the full 90, depending how he's feeling following a recent injury.
