On the other hand, Manchester United is still struggling to find its feet in the league campaign this season.

Victor Lindelof, Alexis Sanchez, Chris Smalling, Diogo Dalot, Anthony Martial, Matteo Darmian, Luke Shaw and Scott McTominay all remain on the treatment table although Jose Mourinho expects a few to recover in time for the impending clash.
