Erik ten Hag will be racking his brain ahead of the clash, however, with three key names missing from training.
Maguire missed Man United’s last pre-season clash against Liverpool.
The trio were not spotted in training with the club as Ten Hag confirmed there are doubts over their availability.
He said: “Harry Maguire missed the game as a precaution, he is a question mark for Saturday.
“So we have training, and we will have to see whether he is fit enough or not to be available.
“Victor played, but he is also a question mark, and so is Azza [Aaron Wan-Bissaka].
“We have to see about [them] tomorrow.”

Ten Hag also revealed that Luke Shaw will be assessed as the full-back missed out on the club’s US tour.

Lisandro Martinez could feature for the Red Devils, but Ten Hag was coy about some player’s involvement.
He added: “That is [on an] individual basis and every [player] has a different background
“We put them all on off-season programmes but they all have different starts as well in pre-season and in the weeks we were in the USA.
“So from individual to individual we will assess them and make a decision whether they start, come from the bench or they don’t play.”
