Jose Mourinho suggested, earlier this season, he would not be selecting Bastian Schweinsteiger again but needs must.

An injury to Michael Carrick and Morgan Schneiderlin's continued absence sees the German drafted into the Manchester United squad for their league clash with West Ham. Schweinsteiger only makes the bench but any appearance from it would be his first of the season. Jesse Lingard comes into the starting XI in place of Carrick while Marcus Rashford starts ahead of Wayne Rooney. Interestingly, Marcos Rojo is at centre back with Daley Blind on the bench. https://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/802897284077879297 As for the Hammers, Ireland goalkeeper Darren Randolph gets the nod from Slaven Bilic and Dimitri Payet features. https://twitter.com/WestHamUtd/status/802897272627429376 The match kicks off around 4:30pm at Old Trafford.
