RB: Rafael

With new signing Juan Mata likely to play from the right, Rafael will be tasked with providing much-needed width to the United attack.

CB: Phil Jones

The versatile England international could be asked to play in centre midfield, with Chris Smalling at centre half, but with Darren Fletcher fit again, Jones may be handed a run of games in one position.

CB: Jonny Evans

Not the most glamorous player on United’s books but one of the most effective. With Nemanja Vidic suspended and Rio Ferdinand injured, Evans is guaranteed to play.

LB: Patrice Evra

With Leighton Baines signing a new deal at Everton, Evra likely to keep his place at left back until at least the end of this season.
