With United virtually having one foot in the final of the Carabao Cup after beating Nottingham Forest 3-0 on Wednesday, the United manager has the opportunity to use his squad and give minutes to those who did not start the game against Forest.
Harry Maguire is back in the Man United squad after he served a one-match suspension on Wednesday night due to him picking up two yellow cards in the Carabao Cup, so he might come into the starting line-up after Victor Lindelof and Lisandro Martinez were the starting centre-backs against Forest and both performed well.

Luke Shaw missed the game due to illness against Steve Cooper’s side, however, the United manager might provide an update on the latest on Shaw, as well as Diogo Dalot, Anthony Martial and Jadon Sancho, all of whom missed the clash at the City Ground.
Facundo Pellistri performed well against Forest and the Uruguayan is in contention to make his first start for United.
David de Gea kept his place in goal for the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Forest, but he might get the night off against the Royals, which could potentially open up a spot for either Jack Butland or Tom Heaton take take the gloves.
The game between United and Reading kicks off at 8pm UK time on Saturday, and for those watching in the UK, the game will be shown on ITV Sport.
