Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men have all to play for while playing hosts to a high-flying West Ham United side as they seek to close the gap on table-toppers Manchester City who race ahead largely unrivalled to secure the league title.
The Reds Devils were involved in a rather dull affair midweek in the Europa League, drawing 1-1 with Italian giants AC Milan, with Solskjaer awarding rare outings to fringe players within his ranks.
Up against West Ham United, however, the Manchester United gaffer would hope for his players to return to winning ways and hand an upset to the Londoners who make the travels to Old Trafford.

Let us now have a look at how Ole Gunnar Solskjaer might set his Manchester United side up against the Hammers:
4-2-3-1
Dean Henderson is tipped to man the goalposts once again for the hosts in the absence of the first-choice David de Gea and with the former impressing in his new role, Solskjaer will have little left to ponder over a change between the sticks.
Changes would be due in the backline for United after the midweek action as Eric Bailly would have to make way for Victor Lindelof, with the Swede being preferred to partner skipper Harry Maguire in the heart of the defence.
Recalls will be issued to the likes of Luke Shaw and Fred following the duo being benched for the draw against AC Milan.
Solskjaer is not expected to tinker with his frontline as Edinson Cavani remains unavailable for the Old Trafford giants owing to injury.
