Louis van Gaal has put his faith in the same team that narrowly beat CSKA Moscow in the Champions League in midweek for Manchester United's home league game with West Brom on Saturday.

The Dutchman has decided to stick with the same 11 players for the visit of Tony Pulis' side on Saturday afternoon, which will mean Jesse Lingard makes his first Premier League start for the Red Devils this season.

The forward impressed in the Champions League on Tuesday after providing the cross from which Wayne Rooney scored the winner from against CSKA, which also ended United's lengthy goal drought of more than six hours in the process.

Rooney will again lead the line for the home side while Van Gaal has given young defender Cameron Borthwick-Jackson his first call-up to the squad, although he will start the game against West Brom on the bench.

Manchester United starting XI: De Gea; Young, Smalling, Blind, Rojo; Carrick, Schweinsteiger; Lingard, Mata, Martial; Rooney.
