Man Utd injury headache as Ralf Rangnick confirms at least SIX players are out against Chelsea

Ralf Rangnick will have a selection headache on his hands on Thursday with several more players ruled out.

Ralf Rangnick will have a depleted squad to choose from when Manchester United welcome Chelsea to Old Trafford on Thursday evening.

The Red Devils come into the game off the back of two consecutive defeats, leaving them sixth in the table, with four games remaining.

United face the tough task of beating Chelsea, who have three wins in their last five league games, if they want to achieve their aim of securing a top four finish this season.

Now the German has confirmed that Harry Maguire and Jadon Sancho are also unavailable, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka is a doubt.
