Summer arrivals Cunha and Mbeumo are expected to be involved for United, with Ruben Amorim's new-look attack beginning to take shape. While Cunha has already featured heavily for the club this summer, Mbeumo has been left out of their initial pre-season games to allow him to build some fitness up, and could make his official bow against Everton.

As for the Toffees, summer signings Carlos Alcaraz, Thierno Barry and Mark Travers - all of whom have made their debuts - are expected to be given run outs. However, the fixture may come a little too early for the club's latest capture, Adam Aznou, whose move from Bayern Munich was confirmed on Tuesday.
