However, the goalkeeper has shown his class for several years at Old Trafford and Solskjaer was vocal on his support for the player in the pre-match conference. The Norwegian manager confirmed that he wouldn't rest De Gea, insisting that the goalkeeper will step up and come back stronger. Defence: Dalot, Smalling, Lindelof, Shaw Diogo Dalot could return to the side in a four-man defence, after Solskjaer played three at the back against Manchester City. Victor Lindelof has been one of the most consistent performers for Manchester United this season, and Luke Shaw has had a decent outing in his first start after the two-match ban against City. While Smalling has been inconsistent, a lack of options on the bench will force the manager to partner Lindelof with the Englishman. Midfield: McTominay, Ander Herrera, Paul Pogba Solskjaer stated in the press conference that Ander Herrera is set to return to action against Chelsea and we expect the Spaniard to start in this game.
