Chris Smalling, Victor Lindelof and either Matteo Darmian or Luke Shaw will be in defence according to _Manchester Evening News_. One of Shaw or Darmian will join Ashley Young as wing-backs
while Andreas Pereira, Paul Pogba and Fred will start in midfield. MAN UTD VS MAN CITY - FOLLOW LIVE COVERAGE! Jesse Lingard could then play just behind Marcus Rashford as the Red Devils
host the reigning Premier League champions. Shaw returns to the fold having served a suspension and is set to slot straight back into the United line-up. Should Solskjaer opt for a back
three, it could be a bad omen for Manchester United fans with their record with the formation not the best. United have played three at the back seven times this season, and are yet to win.
They managed draws against Southampton and Arsenal but were beaten by Tottenham, West Ham, Liverpool, Wolves and Barcelona. If Darmian is selected, it would be just his second start under
Solskjaer. The defender’s only other start came as United beat Reading in the FA Cup earlier this season. Solskjaer is looking to guide United into the Champions League places with the Red
Devils in the hunt for a top four spot. The Norwegian took over as boss in December and has given a message to fans ahead of tonight’s game. He wrote in his programme notes: “From the moment
I took over in December, the lads put in a monumental effort to get back in contention for a top four finish and it’s a credit to them that we’re in the position we’re in now. “During that
period, they showed everybody what they can do and that they’re capable of winning any game, so now is the time to show our real selves again. “We’ve got four games left and if we win them
all, then I’m certain that we’ll finish in the top four, but to get those wins we will have to earn each and every one of them. In the end we’ll get what we deserve.” LEAKED MAN UTD XI: De
Gea, Darmian, Smalling, Lindelof, Shaw, Young, Pereira, Fred, Pogba, Lingard, Rashford.
