    This is Mason Greenwood's first Premier League start since Boxing Day. The teenager seems to have it all: two good feet, intelligent movement and a natural eye for goal. He already has 10 goals in all competitions this season, with one every 151 minutes, and will fancy his chances of adding to that tally today against 19th-placed Watford.

    United make six changes, then, from the team that managed a 1-1 draw in Bruges on Thursday. There's a start for teenager Mason Greenwood, while Dan James, Fred and David de Gea all return.

    Watford, meanwhile, make just one change after last weekend's 1-1 draw with Brighton: Craig Dawson comes in for Adrian Mariappa at the back.
