It’s a big game for…

Wayne Rooney. As United prepare to play on unforgiving circumstances, the seniority and leadership of Rooney will be crucial. With the likes of Carrick and Valencia absent, Rooney will be required to prove his aptitude to impress Jose Mourinho. He remains with a point to prove, as he continues to battle with an array of exceptional forwards to secure a permanent place in the United line-up.

Remember when…

Zlatan Ibrahimovic opened the scoring at Old Trafford against Zorya in September? It was a goal laced with luck, but it was enough to give the Reds the win.

Player to watch…

Timothy Fosu-Mensah. With Antonio Valencia rested and Matteo Darmian absent, this gives the 18-year-old an opportunity to show his competence in the United back-four. He impressed Jose Mourinho in late September, when the Reds hosted Zorya, so he will be hoping to get his third start of the season tonight. The Dutchman has been labelled to have a successful United career ahead of him, so the pressure is on.
