Sancho and Shaw missed Wednesday’s 3-1 FA Cup win against West Ham United but both players are fit to return.

Anthony Martial, Donny van de Beek and Christian Eriksen remain out.

Ten Hag has said this week that United will be patient with Martial as they look to avoid further hip problems.

“I won’t give a prospective [time], or an expectation about that,” Ten Hag said. “Let him do his work, as several times now, he has been back and he drops back too quickly.

“We [have to] give him the time and I hope he is on board but first, in this moment, we are doing really well in this set-up. When he is available, we will have another option, a good option. Let’s give him the time and we will see when he is back.”

Confirmed Manchester United XI: De Gea, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw, Casemiro, Fred, Fernandes, Weghorst, Rashford, Antony


Subs: Heaton, Maguire, Malacia, Sabitzer, Sancho, Wan Bissaka, Elanga, McTominay, Garnacho
