The only change by Louis van Gaal is bringing Marouane Fellaini in for Paddy McNair on the bench.
It means Wayne Rooney remains as the sole striker in the side, supported by youngsters Memphis Depay and Adnan Januzaj on the wings.
Juan Mata, Morgan Schneiderlin and Michael Carrick complete the midfield.
