The team will be eager to brush off their previous match against Newcastle. The match against Newcastle ended with 1-1 draw. The result had actually dented their chances for the top four. Talking about Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford they could be benched and will join the playing XI as substitutes. Edinson Cavani and Mason Greenwood are likely to start. The Red Devils could line up in  4-2-2-2 formation. David de Gea will continue to be the goalkeeper for this match as well.

Manchester United's tweet: 

The Red Devils are currently placed on number seven of the EPL 2021-22 points table. The Red Devils must be yearning to make a comeback after their shabby display of football in their last game.

Manchester United: de Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw; McTominay, Matic; van de Beek, Sancho; Greenwood, Cavani
