Manchester United fans are calling for summer signing Casemiro to start against Manchester City in the derby, with Marcus Rashford also backed to return from injury.
Erik ten Hag's side face off against City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon, with the Reds having not played a Premier League match since their 3-1 victory over Arsenal nearly a month ago.
United, who defeated Sheriff in the Europa League in their most recent match, have won their Past four successive Premier League matches. After a disappointing start to the season, losing against Brighton and Brentford, Ten Hag's men have been much improved in the past month and recorded victories over Liverpool and Arsenal.

United are likely to be boosted by the return of Rashford, while there is also a chance that Anthony Martial could be fit enough to feature after being sidelined with an injury. Rashford missed the last two games against Real Sociedad and Sheriff, and missed out on a call-up to the England squad for the recent Nations League matches, but supporters are hoping that he'll start in attack against City.
Here is the starting XI that Manchester Evening News readers want to see deployed against the Blues:
Goalkeeper - David de Gea
If there is one sure starter in Ten Hag's side at the minute, it's David de Gea. Although the Spaniard struggled in the opening two matches, he was performing well before the international break and he is the undisputed starter unless something drastic happens prior to kick-off.
United's second-choice shot-stopper Martin Dubravka was forced to pull out of the recent Slovakia squad because of a training injury, so it remains to be seen if he will make the substitutes bench or not.
Defenders - Diogo Dalot, Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane, Tyrell Malacia
The back four pick themselves after impressive showings in the past month. Club captain Harry Maguire was criticised for his personal performance for the Three Lions against Germany, and is likely to be a substitute once again.
Martinez and Varane will be keen to continue to build on their partnership at centre-back, with Dalot and Malacia the first-choice full-backs at the moment, despite Luke Shaw's solid performance for England on Monday.
Midfielders - Scott McTominay, Bruno Fernandes, Christian Eriksen
Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes have both looked good so far this season, and performed well before the break. Understandably, then, United fans have picked them both to start against Guardiola's men.
However, following the international break where Casemiro and Scott McTominay both performed admirably for their nations, there was some debate as to which player should start at the Etihad.
United fans to stick with the tried and tested formula this season of McTominay and Eriksen in midfield, but do not be surprised to see Casemiro play some role on Sunday.
Forwards - Antony, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho
United fans will be hoping that Rashford has fully recovered from his injury and is ready to start. Supporters have also backed Antony and Jadon Sancho to keep their places after the pair performed well against the Gunners last month.
Cristiano Ronaldo would start from the bench for the fifth successive Premier League match, while Anthony Elanga would also have to settle for a place among the substitutes.
