Team News: Who is injured and/or suspended for Manchester United vs Reading?
Manchester United's interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that midfield dynamo Paul Pogba is a doubt for Saturday's FA Cup encounter with Reading. The 25-year-old Frenchman was injured in his side's 2-0 win over Newcastle United in mid-week.
However, Solskjaer has confirmed that both Lukaku and Sanchez who were involved in the goals on Wednesday will start. Eric Bailly is suspended for the game following his red card against Bournemouth while Chris Smalling is still recovering from a foot injury. Scott McTominay and Marcos Rojo are expected to be involved after returning to training this week.
For Reading, defenders Chris Gunter and Liam Moore are expected to feature in the starting XI. However, Leandro Bacuna and ex-United defender Tyler Blackett are suspended for the encounter. Paul McShane, Saeid Ezatolahi and Jordan Obita will all sit out the encounter with injuries.
What is the form of Manchester United compared to Reading?
