Marcus Rashford has been named among the substitues after training with the squad yesterday.
New signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic will not feature as he is not due to join up with the squad until they head to Stockholm for a friendly against Galatasaray later this month.
The fixture will see Mkhitaryan face his former club, after joining United from Dortmund last month.
The game will also be Luke Shaw’s second appearance since breaking his leg in a Champions League encounter with PSV Eindhoven early last season.

BVB manager Thomas Tuchel has picked a team which includes former United player Shinji Kagawa as well as star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The German side are also fielding exciting French teenager Ousmane Dembélé, who will be well worth keeping an eye on.
The match is being broadcast live on MUTV.
