Manchester United Team News
Harry Maguire returns from his suspension and is expected to go straight into the team.
Lenny Yoro could return for the Reds, however, the manager will likely leave it until Monday to make a final assessment on the player, with Michael Carrick stating, “We’re still working on [Leny]. So, there’s a possibility, there’s a possibility, but at this stage, it’s not 100 per cent sure”.
Lisandro Martinez is suspended following his red card against Leeds. After being sent off for a hair pull, Manchester United failed in their attempt to appeal the red card, and his three game ban has been upheld.
