New United signing Manuel Ugarte was not registered in time to play on Sunday, so he will miss out.

The big injury news for United is that Mason Mount, who has started both games so far this season, is out for several weeks with a muscle injury.

This injury may force a change in the forward line, but with Rasmus Hojlund still out, Joshua Zirkzee may get his first start in a United shirt.

Luke Shaw, Leny Yoro and Victor Lindelof are all still out, so the back line will likely be the same as last week, though Matthijs de Ligt is fighting for a starting berth.

There are no other fresh injury concerns for the Reds, so expect a similar eleven to the side that Arne Slot has seemingly settled on for now.

The two Dutchman meet for the first time since their respective stints at Ajax and Feyenoord, with questions over ten Hag already resurfacing this season after United’s loss to Brighton last time out.

The United manager will be aware of the implications – both literally and symbolically – of a statement win at Old Trafford, but the Red Devils face a Liverpool side that has been impressive so far under Slot.

Hopes are high at Anfield after two opening wins, and despite a lack of activity in the transfer window, it seems that Slot is more than happy with the tools at his disposal as he heads to Manchester looking for the perfect start to his tenure.
