Meanwhile, David de Gea suffered a groin problem on international duty but has recovered in time to start, while Paul Pogba remains out with an ankle issue.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka comes in for Diogo Dalot at right-back while Juan Mata is replaced by Victor Lindelof as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reverts to 5-3-2.
Update: An injury to Axel Tuanzebe in the warm-up has seen Marcos Rojo come into United's defence.
