West Bromwich Albion vs. Manchester United: Lineups

Michael Carrick captain's Alex Ferguson's last ever team selection as Manchester United manager as the team line up to face West Bromwich Albion.

Typically, there are plenty of surprises in United's team, who appear to line up in a midfield diamond. Antonio Valencia is also at right-back, with Alexander Buttner at left-back and young wonderkid Adnan Januzaj on the bench for the Red Devils. Javier Hernandez starts up front with Robin van Persie.

West Brom, meanwhile, have former United keeper Ben Foster in goal, and stick with their trusty midfield partnership of Claudio Yacob and Youssef Mulumbu, while Chris Brunt also returns to the side.

West Bromwich Albion starting line-up (4-2-3-1): Ben Foster; Billy Jones, Gareth McAuley, Jonas Olsson, Liam Ridgewell; Claudio Yacob, Youssef Mulumbu; Graham Dorrans, James Morrison, Chris Brunt; Shane Long.

Manchester United starting line-up (4-4-2 diamond): Anders Lindegaard; Alexander Buttner, Phil Jones, Jonny Evans, Antonio Valencia; Shinji Kagawa, Tom Cleverley, Michael Carrick (captain), Anderson; Javier Hernandez, Robin van Persie.
