Mason Greenwood will start against the Kazakhstan side, with Axel Tuanzebe among those expected to be alongside him.
Jesse Lingard and Diogo Dalot could also feature after returning to training from their respective injuries.
Both were seen preparing for Thursday night’s fixture with Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial, Daniel James and Luke Shaw all absent from the main media session.
Pogba and Shaw took part in individual work, while 16-year-old midfielder Charlie Wellens, son of former player Richie, was present.
A feature on Manchester Evening News said that ‘United youth team aficionados have been highly impressed with how comfortable Wellens has looked in midfield’ this month, with ‘hope’ he could ‘rise through the ranks’.
