United booked their place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, where they will also face Rovers, by beating Tottenham in midweek but must now park that euphoria and turn their full attentions back to league matters.
United travel over the Pennines seven points clear of third-placed Middlesbrough but have a number of availability concerns after illness struck the camp recently.
After such a quick turnaround, we tasked our man to pick the side he would send out to face Rovers – would you agree?

6. Jack Robinson
Another player who has struggled with illness of late but with Ciaran Clark missing the last couple of games, he more than deserves to start – especially after such a commanding display against Spurs in midweek Photo: Catherine Ivill
7. Ben Osborn
Max Lowe has been off the pace in recent weeks while Osborn has impressed after coming off the bench, so it seems a sensible change to make. So tactically flexible too which will be important if United have to switch things up quickly Photo: Mike Egerton
8. Ollie Norwood
Rested against Spurs, he, like Egan, comes straight back in. Too important to the United cause to be left on the bench Photo: Simon Bellis
