Albion have not beaten United in 13 Barclays Premier League meetings, losing ten and drawing two - both stalemates came at Old Trafford.
Sunday's game will see Sir Alex Ferguson bow out in his 1500th game in charge of United.
Romelu Lukaku needs one more goal to match Peter Odemwingie's record of 15 Premier League strikes in a season.
The Baggies have only once beaten the Red Devils during Ferguson's tenure - a 2-0 League Cup triumph in December 2003.
Albion have scored four or more goals against United on 12 different occasions, while the Red Devils have netted four against Albion 11 times.
The Baggies' last league win over United was a 2-0 success in March 1984, when Steve MacKenzie and Cyrille Regis scored.
