With Pogba ‘s injury and his seventh goal of the season, Scott McTominay will start with Fred, who He will play his 100th game for the club in keeping the midfield.

Donny van de Beek missed his chance to take the No. 10 position against the Hammers and can expect to return to the substitutes’ bench tomorrow, with Bruno Fernandes back in the starting XI.
