CM – Maroune Fellaini
Like his manager the Belgium international has struggled since arriving at the club from Everton last summer, but has actually shown signs of improvement in recent times and should get a place.
CM – Michael Carrick
Is one of the most experienced players in the team at this level and although has had a poor campaign to date, is a better option than Tom Cleverley.
RW – Adnan Januzaj
Perhaps the biggest achievement of the Moyes era has been the development of this 19-year-old into a top-class star and the winger’s attacking prowess and skill will be needed from the start – especially with Juan Mata ineligible to play.
CAM – Wayne Rooney
With a Premier League record £300,000-a-week contract having just been signed Rooney needs to start proving he is worth it and dragging United back to some sort of glory.
LW- Shinji Kagawa
Moyes has already confirmed the Japan international will play some part in the game and with Luis Nani, Antonio Valencia and Ashley Young having all been poor this term, should be in the starting XI.
