Uh oh. After several months of relative good fortune with injuries, Manchester United have suddenly had their London buses moment this weekend. According to reports, Anthony Martial has picked up an unspecified injury, Marcus Rashford has come down with illness, and even Wayne Rooney - even at “full fitness” already a desperation option - has been clattered by Phil Jones (naturally) and rendered more useless.
With Zlatan Ibrahimović already missing through suspension, it means that United are missing their first, second, and third options for the lead striker position, as well as Rooney. Henrikh Mkhitaryan may be asked to be play upfront, with Ashley Young and Jesse Lingard filling the wide positions. The ugly sight of Marouane Fellaini as a target man is also a possibility.
According to the Manchester Evening News, these are the confirmed squad members so far:
Sergio Romero
Dean Henderson
Antonio Valencia
Matteo Darmian
Timothy Fosu-Mensah
Phil Jones
Eric Bailly
Chris Smalling
Daley Blind
Marcos Rojo
Luke Shaw
Michael Carrick
Marouane Fellaini
Ander Herrera
Jesse Lingard
Ashley Young
Welp.
