Christian Eriksen is also expected to be in United’s matchday squad after recovering quickly from an injury.
After narrowly beating Brentford in a Premier League midweek clash, Manchester United will host Everton on Saturday in search of vital points again.
Should they win the early kickoff, the Red Devils will extend their unbeaten home run to 24 games.
United got back to the top four following their victory over Brentford courtesy of Marcus Rashford’s strike, but credit must also be given to David de Gea for making crucial saves, especially one-on-ones against Kevin Schade.
On the other hand, Everton - after their 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur - are just above the relegation zone.
From four games against Nottingham Forest, Brentford, Chelsea, and Tottenham, the Toffees have registered a win and three draws as they continue to show some kind of stability and solidity under Sean Dyche.

Predicted line-ups:
Manchester United: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Malacia; Fred, Sabitzer, Antony, Fernandes, Rashford, Weghorst.
Everton: Pickford; Keane, Tarkowski, Godfrey, Coleman, Onana, Gueye, Mykolenko, Iwobi, Gray, McNeil
