The latest Man Utd team news and injury latest ahead of facing Everton in the Premier League fixture today.

Manchester United are set to welcome three senior stars back when they travel to face Everton in the Premier League on Saturday lunchtime. Ruben Amorim was without 12 players for the defeat to Tottenham Hotspur last weekend but there is some good news, with only nine players expected to miss the final trip to Goodison Park.

Leny Yoro and Christian Eriksen are both available again after their recent absence through illness, while Manuel Ugarte is also available for selection after he suffered an injury last week. It remains to be seen whether any of the trio are ready to start against Everton, but they should all be in the squad for the match.
