Dean Henderson starts for Manchester United on his return to Bramall Lane this evening.
Henderson is making his second Premier League start for the Reds against Sheffield United, the side he enjoyed two hugely successful loan spells with before his return to Old Trafford.
Unlike at West Ham, David de Gea is on the substitutes bench this evening proving Henderson has been selected on merit rather than an injury to the Spaniard.
Alex Telles returns at left-back, replacing Luke Shaw alongside Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Aaron Wan-Bissaka in defence.
Paul Pogba starts in a double midfield pivot with Nemanja Matic with Solskjaer opting for a dynamic attacking quartet.
Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood support Anthony Martial who leads the line for the Reds.
Solskjaer can utilise attacking threats Donny van de Beek, Juan Mata and Daniel James from the bench should United require added impetus.
United can go five points from the Premier League summit with a game in hand with a tenth straight away league win at Bramall Lane.

There is absolutely no excuse not to win and win well tonight 😅 https://t.co/RluZNrrf5G

The Matic, Pogba, Fernandes midfield three reunited for the first time since the 6-1 defeat to Tottenham. The Matic/Pogba axis was too easy to play through at the start of the season. Solskjaer will hope that's changed #mufc

For the first time this season we have the front six that carried us to 3rd at the end of last season playing together. Can’t believe it had to wait until December. We are going to win easily

Line up is good. But I’m concerned about the bench, how can Ole go in without a CB contingency. What if Maguire/Lindelof get injured?

What. A. Line. Up.

Return to the post-lockdown XI plus Telles & Deano.
Hope the results return, too.

Henderson, Pogba, Telles, Bruno, Rashford, Martial & Greenwood all in the same starting lineup? On my mother’s life I’m in heaven right now oh my god

I’m a bit unsure on Pogba and Matic holding 😬. I think Fred or McTominay next to Pogba would have been a better choice. Matic has been off pace all season
