United have won five of their first six matches since Carrick was appointed head coach and will hope for another three points in their bid for Champions League qualification. The Reds won 1-0 against Everton at the start of the week but were handed a fresh injury scare in the game, while another senior player was forced to miss the match due to injury.

Carrick is hopeful the injury issues won’t impact his side too much on Sunday afternoon, but United could still be without four first-team players for the upcoming clash at Old Trafford. Here is all the latest injury news and potential return dates.

Manchester United latest injury news

Bryan Mbeumo - 1 March vs Crystal Palace (H)

Mbeumo appeared to be in pain when he was withdrawn during the victory over Everton at the start of the week. The good news is that his injury did not look serious, and he should be back in the squad this weekend

Lisandro Martinez - 4 March vs Newcastle (A)

Martinez missed the Everton win due to a minor calf injury but is not expected to be sidelined for too long. He could make the bench this weekend but might also be saved to face Newcastle next week.

Mason Mount - 4 March vs Newcastle (A)

Mount has missed the last four matches due to injury but is now close to a return. He could be back across either of the next two matches but might not be risked until he is fully fit.

Matthijs De Ligt - 15 March vs Aston Villa (H)

De Ligt has missed the last 15 matches after he suffered a back injury following the victory over Crystal Palace. It is hoped he will return to action next month, but even when he is fit, he might not be risked for a few matches.

Patrick Dorgu - 11 April vs Leeds (H)

Dorgu has missed three matches since he suffered a hamstring issue in the away win over Arsenal last month. He was initially expected to be out until the March international break and could return to face Leeds.
