Henderson And Cavani Start, De Gea Dropped: United’s Predicted XI To Face West Brom

After rotating his side in the FA Cup against West Ham during the week, Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expected to return to a more tried and tested starting lineup for the trip to West Brom tomorrow.

However, with Dean Henderson performing well versus the Hammers, there is a chance he could keep his place ahead of David De Gea in goal, with the Spaniard struggling for form recently.

In defence, Eric Bailly is short of match fitness so Victor Lindelof is expected to line up alongside Harry Maguire at centre-back, with Luke Shaw returning in place of Alex Telles at left-back. Aaron Wan-Bissaka is likely to start on the right-hand side.


Donny van de Beek’s disappointing midweek display means Bruno Fernandes will be recalled, with Scott McTominay and Fred set to play behind him. Paul Pogba will not be involved due to a thigh injury.

Edinson Cavani is expected to be picked ahead of Anthony Martial up front, with Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford playing either side of the Uruguayan.

Manchester United’s Predicted XI To Play West Brom:

Henderson, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Fred, Fernandes, McTominay, Greenwood, Cavani, Rashford
