Manchester United take on West Brom on Monday night, looking to make it three wins from three as they continue to rebuild under Louis van Gaal.

Radamel Falcao will partner Robin van Persie in attack as United will have to play without suspended captain Wayne Rooney.

United are up to fourth place after their recent run of form and will travel to The Hawthorns confident of another result.

The Baggies will be without Claudio Yacob and Silvesre Varela, but could welcome back Chris Brunt from a groin strain.

Alan Irvine's team had beaten Spurs and Burnley before a tight defeat at Anfield just before the international break.
