Manager Jose Mourinho: The Portuguese boss is another manager rarely seen in his dugout seat. Few can forget his touchline sprint when his Porto side shocked United at Old Trafford. One to keep an eye on as the drama unfolds on the pitch.

Assistant manager Rui Faria: Mourinho's right-hand man first worked with him as a fitness coach in Portugal before stepping up as his assistant at Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and back at Chelsea. Mourinho has named him as his successor: "If he wants to become a manager tomorrow, he is more than ready to do it at the highest level."
 
Coach Silvino Louro: Former Portugal goalkeeper, Louro initially worked with Mourinho's 'keepers at Porto but has since stepped up to become a key advisor to the manager. He specialises in detailed video analysis of United's play and their opposition.

Coach Carlos Lalin: Mourinho's fitness coach at Real Madrid followed him on his return to Chelsea and made the move to Old Trafford in the summer. The Venezuelan is responsible for the conditioning of United's players.

Coach Emilio Alvarez: Former Atletico Madrid goalkeeping coach Alvarez acts as a mentor to David de Gea. Alvarez worked with the United 'keeper as a youngster in Spain and is charged with getting the most out of the shot-stopper at Old Trafford.

Coach Ricardo Formosinho: When it comes to scouting the opposition, it is Formosinho's responsibility to come up with detailed reports of what United will be up against. Formosinho worked with Mourinho at Porto and Real Madrid and, after a short stint in charge of Malaysia, is now back on the bench alongside the United manager.

Head of sports medicine and science Steve McNally: Praised by Louis van Gaal last season for spotting a blood clot in Phil Jones' leg, McNally joined United in 2006 - from Liverpool's academy. He's responsible for the treatment of injuries and illness in the United camp.  

Head physio Neil Hough: After 15 years working under Rob Swire, Hough was appointed head physio in 2014 and will be first on the scene when a United player requires treatment on Monday night.
