United boss Michael Carrick has called on his team to build on their strong end to last season and seize the chance to keep the club in the running for future UCL qualifications.
It's been a tough start to the domestic campaign for Carrick and his players, with just one win from three Premier League games so far, and he's expected to rotate for this clash.
Carrick is still without summer signing Carlos Baleba due to an ankle issue with Amad Diallo, Matthijs de Ligt and Manuel Ugarte also out.
Man United team news v Sabah
Carrick confirmed he granted an extra rest day to Luke Shaw following the 2-2 weekend draw at Everton and a late decision will be made on his fitness.
With Patrick Dorgu now back to full fitness, it's likely Shaw will start on the bench, with Marcus Rashford also being assessed for a muscular problem.
Rashford was forced off against the Toffees, but if he passes a late test, Carrick should keep him in the starting XI.
Man United predicted XI vs. Sabah
Lammens; Dalot, Maguire, Heaven, Dorgu; Andrey Santos, Mainoo, Fernandes; Mbeumo, Cunha, Rashford.
Man United vs. Sabah kickoff time
This clash is a 20:00 kickoff at Old Trafford.
