It is Amad Diallo who has returned to the starting line-up to take Cunha’s place in the front three.
Benjamin Sesko has retained his spot up front, and the Slovenian scored his first goal for United in the reverse fixture against Brentford.
Lisandro Martinez continues to serve his suspension for the red card he picked up against Leeds United, but Harry Maguire is finally back in the squad after serving his ban.
