Manchester United XI vs Fulham: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League

Luke Shaw starts with Carlos Baleba on the bench as Manchester United visit Fulham today.

There was hope that the 31-year-old would be available for selection in the Carabao Cup tie at home to Brighton on Wednesday night following an injury update from Michael Carrick in the pre-match press conference.

However, Shaw sat out the 3-2 loss at Old Trafford and now it remains to be seen if he will return for the trip to Craven Cottage. Michael Carrick did not rule out a return on Sunday, but stressed caution.

There is positive news in that regard, with the England international being part of United’s travelling squad to the capital.

That will not prevent the attacking midfielder from being restored to United’s midfield in west London and Kobbie Mainoo is expected to replace Andrey Santos after being partially rested against Brighton.
