Schweinsteiger named on Man United bench

Bastian Schweinsteiger has been named on the Manchester United bench for Sunday's Premier League clash at home to West Ham United.

The German international has not played a single minute for the Red Devils this season after struggling to prove his worth to Jose Mourinho, but the experienced midfielder has been named in the 18-man squad at Old Trafford.

Elsewhere, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is back from a domestic suspension and leads the line, but there is no room in the XI for either Wayne Rooney or Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who both start on the bench.

As for West Ham, head coach Slaven Bilic has made two changes to his XI - Mark Noble and James Collins taking the places of Winston Reid and Andre Ayew, the former of who is suspended. Diafra Sakho, meanwhile, will again lead the West Ham line with support from Dimitri Payet and Manuel Lanzini.

Manchester United: De Gea; Valencia, Jones, Rojo, Darmian; Herrera, Pogba; Rashford, Mata, Lingard; Ibrahimovic Subs: Romero, Blind, Fellaini, Schweinsteiger, Mkhitaryan, Rooney, Young

West Ham United: Randolph; Kouyate, Collins, Ogbonna; Antonio, Noble, Obiang, Cresswell; Payet, Sakho, Lanzini Subs: Adrian, Nordtveit, Feghouli, Zaza, Ayew, Fletcher, Fernandes
