But both now come back into the XI although returning captain Liam Cooper and record signing Rodrigo both have to make do with places on the bench.

Rodrigo has recently returned from a muscular issue with two second-half outings from the bench against Spurs and Brighton, either side of playing 45 minutes for United's under-23s.

Cooper is back available having missed last weekend's 3-1 victory at home to Tottenham due to a slight knock in the gluteus.

Helder Costa is out for the rest of the season with a back injury whilst Adam Forshaw also remains out.
