Manchester United forward Romelu Lukaku has kept his place in the starting lineup for the club's Premier League clash with Watford.

Lukaku avoided retrospective action from the Football Association after an incident involving Brighton & Hove Albion's Gaetan Bong at the weekend, and Jose Mourinho has decided to keep faith in the Belgian who continues to struggle in front of goal.

Mourinho has made two changes to his starting lineup, with defender Marcos Rojo being handed his first league start since April due to a serious knee injury and Jesse Lingard being included in midfield.

Juan Mata and Marcus Rashford are the players to make way, with the duo joining Zlatan Ibrahimovic on the substitutes' bench.

As for Watford, manager Marco Silva has made just the one alteration to the team which began the 3-0 win away at Newcastle United on Saturday afternoon.

Miguel Britos misses the game due to an injury sustained in that game, with Sebastian Prodl the player selected in his place.

Andre Gray keeps his place in attack, with Troy Deeney only being named on the bench after serving a three-match suspension.

Watford: Gomes; Mariappa, Prodl, Kabasele; Femenia, Cleverley, Doucoure, Zeegelaar; Hughes, Richarlison; Gray
Subs: Karnezis, Wague, Janmaat, Capoue, Carrillo, Pereyra, Deeney

Manchester United: De Gea; Valencia, Lindelof, Smalling, Rojo, Young, Matic, Pogba, Lingard, Martial; Lukaku
Subs: Romero, Darmian, Herrera, McTominay, Mata, Rashford, Ibrahimovic
