Manchester United issue update on five injured players for Leeds United fixture

Manchester United do not expect to have any players back from injury for their upcoming clash with Leeds United in the Premier League.

Ruben Amorim’s side are back in action when they travel to Elland Road on Sunday lunchtime for what is expected to be a fierce clash against one of their traditional rivals. United were without eight senior players when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Wolves on Monday night, and might not have any of those players back to face Leeds.

Amorim will put his players through their paces in their final pre-match training session over the weekend, but as things stand, they could still be without those players. Noussair Mazraoui, Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo are away due to their participation in the Africa Cup of Nations, while another five players are still injured.
