Victor Valdes – If a home tie against League Two opposition isn’t the perfect game for Valdes to make his full debut, what is?
Antonio Valencia – Rafael played the full 90 minutes against Fulham’s U21s last night, so won’t be available.
Tyler Blackett – Needs game time to try and find his early season form again.
Phil Jones – Out of him and Rojo, the fact Jones is right footed gives Louis van Gaal the balance he craves.
Luke Shaw – Needs to play more in order to improve his match rhythm and sharpness.
Daley Blind – No other alternative to Blind now that Michael Carrick is injured.
Ander Herrera – Simply has to start. No questions asked.
Marouane Fellaini – Adds physicality into the team which will help up against Cambridge United.
Wayne Rooney – In the no.10 role. Chosen ahead of Juan Mata because he is more physical.
Radamel Falcao – More games and hopefully more goals for Falcao who is looking as fit as he has done all season.
James Wilson – His pace on the big Old Trafford pitch could be very dangerous.
