The Red Devils travel to Bramall Lane looking to become only the fourth team in English top-flight history to win 10 successive away games, and the first since 1960 to score two or more goals in 10 successive away games.

The visitors will be firm favourites too, arriving with the league's best away form against a team which has suffered one of the worst starts to a season ever seen in the English Football League.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could line his side up for the trip to the Steel City.

Manchester United's only injury concern heading into Thursday's match surrounds Edinson Cavani, who once again missed out for the goalless Manchester derby draw at the weekend.

The Uruguayan, who remains under investigation by the FA for using allegedly racist language in a social media post, is not expected to be back in time to start this one, but Anthony Martial is now available again after making his return off the bench at the weekend.

The Frenchman could come in for his compatriot Paul Pogba, whose future has again dominated the headlines as we approach the opening of a new transfer window.

Solskjaer may look to make one or two changes elsewhere, with Juan Mata, Alex Telles and Donny van de Beek among those who will be pushing for starts.

On paper this looks like a good opportunity to rest players for Solskjaer, although he may be wary of doing that with Bruno Fernandes following their poor performance the last time he was left out.

The playmaker also has a stunning record away from home - 11 goals and six assists in 12 Premier League games on the road - while against teams beginning the day in the bottom three he has four goals and four assists from four games.

Dean Henderson will be hoping that any rotation extends to the goalkeeper, having spent two years on loan at Sheffield United before deciding to fight for the number one spot at Man United this season.
