GK) David de Gea

The goalkeeper has been in great form this season, making a claim to be one of the best stoppers in the world.

RB) Antonio Valencia

The Ecuadorian has been a regular at full back under Louis van Gaal. He has been solid if unspectacular so far.

LB) Ashley Young

The amount of injuries at Old Trafford at the moment means that the winger has to deputise at left-back.

CB) Chris Smalling

The defender hasn’t been in the greatest of form, but a lack of alternatives means that he continues.

CB) Marcos Rojo

The Argentine has been patchy since signing in the summer.

CDM) Michael Carrick

The midfielder will operate at the base of the United central four.

CM) Ander Herrera

The Spaniard has been playing well since his return from injury.

CM) Marouane Fellaini

The former Everton has finally been showing why the Red Devils spent so much on him over the past month.

CAM) Juan Mata

The ex-Chelsea player hasn’t been at his scintillating best, but he still holds down a first team place while Angel di Maria is unfit.

ST) Robin van Persie

The striker’s form has picked up in the last few games, meaning that he’s kept his place in the team.

ST) Wayne Rooney

The skipper returns to the team after recovering from a slight knock to his knee.
