Marcus Rashford starts up front for Manchester United as they welcome West Bromwich Albion to Old Trafford.

Marcus Rashford once again starts up front for Manchester United as they welcome West Bromwich Albion to Old Trafford this afternoon.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is suspended for the clash against the Baggies, while skipper Wayne Rooney is named among the substitutes.

Antonio Valencia drops into a back four as Anthony Martial and Henrikh Mkhitaryan join Jesse Lingard as attacking support for Rashford.

Marouane Fellaini overcomes a late fitness test to start alongside Michael Carrick at defensive midfield, while Marcos Rojo earns a recall alongside Valencia, Ashley Young and Eric Bailly in defence.

Juan Mata misses out due to groin surgery and defensive duo Phil Jones and Chris Smalling are also out after their international exploits with England.

Meanwhile, 20-year-old midfielder Matty Willock earns a first inclusion in a matchday squad with a place on the bench.

For West Brom, manager Tony Pulis makes just the one change from the side that claimed the 3-1 scalp of Arsenal last time out.

Hal Robson-Kanu is rewarded for his goal in that game with a spot up front as Salomon Rondon, who only returned from international duty with Venezuela yesterday, starts the game on the bench.

Nacer Chadli overcomes a late fitness test on a shoulder problem to start alongside James McClean and Chris Brunt in an advanced midfield line, with Jake Livermore and Darren Fletcher operating at defensive midfield.

Craig Dawson, Gareth McAuley, Jonny Evans and Allan Nyom continue in the back four, ahead of Ben Foster in goal.
