Manchester United striker Radamel Falcao has been named in the starting XI to face Queens Park Rangers this afternoon after he sat out last weekend's defeat against Southampton.

Angel di Maria and Marcos Rojo also start but Robin van Persie misses out with a minor ankle problem.

QPR, meanwhile, start with Charlie Austin up top after he was named the Premier League Player of the Month for December.

Sandro and Yun Suk-Young remain sidelined with injuries but midfielder Niko Kranjcar has recovered from a thigh complaint to make the substitutes' bench.

Harry Redknapp's side will be looking to avoid extending their losing streak away from home to 11 games.

Queens Park Rangers: Green; Isla, Dunne, Onouha, Hill; Vargas, Barton, Henry, Fer; Austin, Zamora

Manchester United: De Gea; Jones, Evans, Rojo; Valencia, Carrick, Mata, Blind, Rooney; Di Maria, Falcao
