Salah will play no part after taking a knock to the ankle in the Reds’ last Premier League clash against Leicester.
But Liverpool hope he could be fit for their Champions League game against Genk on Wednesday.
Alisson plays again for the first time since sustaining a calf injury against Norwich in the opening game of the season.
Solskjaer has gone for a 3-5-2 formation with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Ashley Young deployed on the wings.
Outcast Fred has been picked to start in the middle of the field alongside Scott McTominay and Andreas Pereira with Paul Pogba still injured.
Anthony Martial could feature for the first time since August after being named on the bench.
Divock Origi comes in in place of Salah.
Joel Matip and Jordan Henderson replace Dejan Lovren and James Milner after the 2-1 win over Leicester.
Anfield boss Jurgen Klopp has spoke on Salah not being a part.
He said: “Klopp on the absence of Salah: “Of course it makes a difference, we have to find the runs he makes in behind.
“But it’s no problem, we can cope and play in a different way.
“It looks like it is three at the back and five in midfield. It’s expected like this, we don’t want to think too much about what they do.
“We want to make sure we are really ready, and so far from what I have seen they are ready.”
Solskjaer taunted Liverpool before kick-off by saying it would not take them 30 to win back the title.
Liverpool have a 100 per cent start to the season and United start the game one point above the relegation zone.
