Facundo Pellistri is nursing an ankle complaint, while left-back Brandon Williams is not expected to form any part of United’s matchday plans and Brazilian midfielder Casemiro is still in the process of finalising his move from Real Madrid.

Darwin Nunez’s reckless red card against Crystal Palace means that he is starting a three-match ban, with Roberto Firmino making a welcome return to training in time to provide attacking cover.
