Watford
Watford boss Ranieri said during Thursday's press conference that Ozan Tufan will need to be assessed, having picked up a knock while away with Turkey on international duty.
Francisco Sierralta is definitely out with the hamstring problem that he suffered during his time with Chile, while Christian Kabasele, Ken Sema, Kwadwo Baah and Peter Etebo are still on the treatment table.
The Hornets will also be missing Juraj Kucka through suspension, meaning that former Man United midfielder Tom Cleverley should come into the side, while there might also be a spot for Joao Pedro, with the Brazilian potentially operating behind another former Red Devils player in Joshua King.
Watford possible starting lineup:
Foster; Femenia, Cathcart, N'Koulou, Rose; Sarr, Cleverley, Sissoko, Dennis; Pedro; King
Manchester United
As for Man United, Raphael Varane and Edinson Cavani will definitely miss the contest through injury, while Paul Pogba, who would have missed this game regardless through suspension, is recovering from a thigh issue in Dubai.
Scott McTominay has recovered from the illness that forced him to leave the Scotland camp, though, and Luke Shaw is also expected to be cleared to play despite missing England's recent World Cup qualifiers with the head injury that he suffered against Man City.
Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood could provide the support to Cristiano Ronaldo, with Solskjaer unlikely to stick with a 3-5-2 formation for this match.
Jadon Sancho, Jesse Lingard and Donny van de Beek are all pushing to be involved from the start but might have to accept positions on the bench once again.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; McTominay, Fred; Greenwood, Fernandes, Rashford; Ronaldo
Prediction: Watford 1-2 Manchester United
