However, United will have to do it without their top scorer Cristiano, as reports suggestthe Portugal international is out with illness.

In his place, Rangnick has opted for Anthony Elanga, who leads the attack alongside Jadon Sancho.

“Unfortunately he had flu like symptons before training yesterday. Obviously if he was well he would have played today.
“He said he was not feeling well yesterday and the doctor went to see him at his house,” Rangnick said pre-match.
