Thauvin had been the subject of an angry chant from frustrated fans after coming off the bench in the 1-0 defeat at Vicarage Road.

Captain Fabricio Coloccini – who has a leg injury – will be given a late fitness test, while Jack Colback (hamstring) is back in training after missing the Watford tie.

Defender Kevin Mbabu is also doubtful for the Man United match.
