What is the team news?
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is set to start Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes together for the first time versus Sheffield United on Wednesday.
A fair amount of rotation is likely for the Old Trafford clash, which comes less than a week after Manchester United got their campaign back underway at Tottenham.
Coming off the bench to earn a penalty in the 1-1 draw, Pogba looked sharp and ready to be handed a starting berth after several months out with an ankle injury.
United fans have been drooling at the prospect of Fernandes lining up with the Frenchman after the playmaker's sterling January introduction to the club.
However it will be difficult to second guess Solskjaer's pick for the third midfield role if he goes with his usual setup.
Fred and Scott McTominay both started in North London but may be rotated out to ease in their return to action, with Nemanja Matic primed to step up.
Sergio Romero, Eric Bailly and Brandon William are waiting in the wings to take their places.
The Blades have some major players missing with United loanee Dean Henderson ineligible against his parent club.
John Egan was given a red card against Newcastle United over the weekend and defender Jack O'Connell is ruled out due to an injury.
