Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has included Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial in his Manchester United starting lineup to face West Brom at Hawthorns.
United are aiming to return to the second place in the Premier League table and close the gap on leaders Manchester City to five points after their 3-0 victory over Tottenham.
The Reds were frustrated in a 3-3 draw against Everton in their last Premier League fixture and must respond against Sam Allardyce’s 19th placed Baggies.
David de Gea retains his place in goal despite some calls for Dean Henderson to be given a regular run of games in between the sticks.
Solskjaer has opted for his preferred defence with Luke Shaw returning at left-back after being rested in the midweek FA Cup victory over West Ham.
Scott McTominay and Fred link up in a familiar midfield axis with Paul Pogba still out injured.
Bruno Fernandes starts behind a triple-pronged attack including Marcus Rashford, Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial.
Cavani will lead the line for the Reds and Rashford and Martial could interchange positions this afternoon.

Many didn’t expect Fred to become the player he has at #MUFC, but he makes his 100th appearance for the club today. At some points, it seemed as though he would struggle to make half of those appearances. His partnership with McTominay has proved vital for Solskjaer. #WBAMUN

Im surprised with the team! Martial always gonna get given opportunities to play and improve his form. Big thing is playing against a low block today. If McTominay can have licence to go forward which he should be able to do, that will help us massively! Come onnn!!!!

Amad was ill recently and so Ole not putting him in the squad is fine. Ultimately, he is a young player, has a lot of pressure on him and should be included and played in beneficial and advantageous situations. This wasn't one of them and that's fine.
Let's be patient, guys. 🙂
