Manager Michael Carrick will be hoping for a strong response from his squad after last weekend’s 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United marked his first loss in charge. The team held a training session ahead of the clash, but several prominent players were missing, raising doubts over their availability for Sunday’s game.
Lisandro Martínez is set to miss the fixture after sustaining a calf injury. In addition, both Matthijs de Ligt and Mason Mount remain sidelined as they continue their rehabilitation. Patrick Dorgu is also absent due to a long-term injury and is not expected to return until after the March international break.
There was a positive update for United fans as Noussair Mazraoui is reportedly nearing full fitness following a minor issue he picked up during the defeat to Newcastle. His potential comeback would give Carrick extra defensive options for a vital match in the top-four race. See More/Details
