Wayne Rooney is in contention to return, providing a welcome attacking option while Zlatan Ibrahimovic completes his suspension and there are doubts over Juan Mata. United, unbeaten in the league since 23 October, host a side who went into the international break buoyant from their 3-1 defeat of Arsenal, and they have won two of their last three visits to Old Trafford.
