Team news: Who is injured, suspended or available for Manchester United vs Watford?
Former Watford star Odion Ighalo could be handed his full Premier League debut for Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday. The Nigerian striker has featured in two games as a substitute since joining the Red Devils last month.
Relatively, Scott McTominay is pushing for a place in the starting lineup after making progress in his recovery. The midfielder has been out of action since December 2019 after suffering a knee ligament injury.
Mason Greenwood, who has been in impressive form for United is ruled out with an illness whereas Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford are out with injuries.
For Watford, full-back Kiko Fermenia could feature for the first time in seven games following his thigh injury. However, Ismaila Sarr remains a doubt with a hamstring problem. The Hornets' club-record signing faces a late fitness test having been omitted from the squad in the last four game.

What are the managers saying ahead of Manchester United vs Watford?
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Manchester United: "It is team selection - you've got to maybe rotate in Europe like we've done, then maybe go back to what we were at Chelsea this week.
"I feel that Bruno [Fernandes] and Odion [Ighalo] coming in will get more goals in the team. That's been lacking. The games we've lost - West Ham, Burnley, Palace, Bournemouth - we've had chances but we haven't scored goals."
Nigel Pearson, Watford: "Our next two fixtures on the face of it are very difficult.
"But they are great fixtures for us as well and I think they're the types of games that every player should look forward to playing and every manager or coach should look forward to being involved in.
"I'm very pragmatic about these games - Man United away is our next one and we're preparing for it and we'll do what we can to get three points if we can and if we can't get three points, get one and that's really the way that we approach every week.
"What I say in preparation is more about how we go about trying to get what we want out of the game and that is to try and win games, it's not about getting overly emotional about it."
