Robin van Persie will make his first start for Manchester United since suffering an ankle injury during the defeat to Swansea in February as Louis van Gaal makes just one enforced changed for the Premier League match against West Brom.

Luke Shaw has been ruled out with an ankle injury, so Van Persie comes back into the side with Daley Blind shifting to left-back. Radamel Falcao remains in the bench where Phil Jones returns to fill the vacancy left by Van Persie.

Young midfielder Alvaro Pereira is included once again after signing a new long-term contract in midweek.
