Manchester United will be forced into at least one change as they face a huge game against West Ham at Old Trafford this afternoon (Saturday).
Victor Lindelof will definitely miss out after it was confirmed he won’t be considered following a burglary at his family home, meaning there will be a change at the back.
Having won in midweek, the question will be whether Ralf Rangnick feels compelled to make any other changes to his side as he faces a crucial encounter in the race for the top four.
Here is the United starting XI that Manchester Evening News readers have selected to face West Ham:
Goalkeeper – David de Gea

Defenders – Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire, Alex Telles
It’s the same back four that started against Brentford, apart from one enforced change at the heart of the defence.
With Rangnick revealing Lindelof will not be considered, it’s just a question of whether Harry Maguire or Phil Jones partners Raphael Varane.
Maguire gets the nod, having made his return from injury off the bench in London in midweek, and you’d fully expect him to take on the captain’s armband again this weekend.
And with Luke Shaw and Aaron Wan-Bissaka unlikely to return, Diogo Dalot and Alex Telles should hold onto their places in the side.
Midfielders – Scott McTominay, Bruno Fernandes, Fred

McTominay was many people’s man of the match at
