Manchester United must win today to avoid spending the international break in the Premier League relegation zone.
The Red Devils put a stop to their winless run on Tuesday with a dramatic comeback 3-2 victory over Roma in the Champions League as Matheus Cunha netted a late brace to turn the game on its head.
Carrick had been under serious scrutiny following United’s worst ever start to a Premier League campaign, with his side slipping into the relegation zone following Nottingham Forest’s win over Manchester City on Saturday evening.
Now, however, they will be looking to build some momentum after a much-needed win.
Patrick Dorgu is on the bench, having been sidelined for over a month with a hamstring issue picked up on international duty, so Noussair Mazraoui fills in at left-back.
There will also be no place in the squad for Lisandro Martinez, who serves his one-match suspension after his red card in the defeat at Chelsea, while Maguire is expected to be fit despite limping off late on against Roma.
Kobbie Mainoo retainz his place and potentially alongside Youri Tielemans - against his former club - behind captain Bruno Fernandes in the No10 role.
Manchester United XI: Lammens; Dalot, Yoro, Maguire, Mazraoui; Mainoo, Tielemans; Amad, Fernandes, Cunha; Mbeumo.
Subs: Darlow, De Ligt, Dorgu, Heaven, Andrey Santos, Fletcher, Mount, Lacey, Zirkzee
