The winner will be in the Champions League qualification places, while the loser will find themselves languishing in fifth. Here is how the Red Devils are likely to line up…

GK) David De Gea

In amazing form all season, only an injury could keep the Spaniard out of the team.

RB) Antonio Valencia

Although not a natural full-back, the 29-year-old has been performing admirably in the position.

LB) Daley Blind

With Luke Shaw and Marcos Rojo unlikely to be fit in time to start the match, the former Ajax man will have to fill in at right-back.

CB) Phil Jones

Jonny Evans’ suspension means that Louis van Gaal has little choice but to pick the England international.

CB) Chris Smalling

Not the best centre-back at Old Trafford, but like Jones the boss has no other options.

CDM) Michael Carrick

A stellar performance against Tottenham earns the 33-year-old another game in the team.

CM) Ander Herrera

It seems that the midfielder is finally being trusted to play in the majority of matches.

CM) Marouane Fellaini

From flop to hero, the Belgian has turned himself in to a key player for Louis van Gaal.

LW) Ashley Young

Formerly known for his prolific diving, the winger has vastly improved under the new manager.

RW) Angel Di Maria

Juan Mata is unlucky to miss out to the £59.7 million man on the wing.

ST) Wayne Rooney 

The captain has shown what his best position is since being returned to the striker’s berth.
