Andre Onana returns in place of Altay Bayindir in goal, while Harry Maguire comes into central defence instead of Leny Yoro. Noussair Mazraoui comes back in at wing-back and Bruno Fernandes drops into central midfield to partner Manuel Ugarte. Amad Diallo reverts to his favoured attacking midfield role and Rasmus Hojlund has been selected instead of Joshua Zirkzee in attack.

Victor Lindelof has been named in a United squad for the first time since their Carabao Cup quarter-final defeat to Tottenham last month. Marcus Rashford did not travel to London and has not been played in any of their last 10 matches across all competitions, though he was an unused substitute when they lost to Newcastle at home in December.

Garnacho keeps his place in the United attack amid continued transfer speculation, with Chelsea and Napoli both interested in a move for the Argentine before transfer deadline day. United could yet sell the 20-year-old in the coming days but Amorim is delighted to have him at his disposal for now.

"He is our player, and I am really happy with Garnacho," he told TNT Sports. "He is improving a lot and I think he had a very good game last Thursday. He is a young kid, so he can recover very well, so he is prepared for this game. We want to use all of the talent of Garnacho to help us win."

United XI: Onana; De Ligt, Maguire, Martinez; Mazraoui, Ugarte, Fernandes (c), Dalot; Amad, Garnacho, Hojlund. Subs: Bayindir, Lindelof, Malacia, Yoro, Casemiro, Collyer, Eriksen, Mainoo, Zirkzee.
