Manchester United team news: injury, suspension list vs. AZ

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Thursday's Europa League clash with AZ.

Manchester United will be desperate to build on Saturday's shock derby day victory over Manchester City when they meet AZ at Old Trafford.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has sent an emphatic message to his critics by beating Tottenham Hotspur and the Premier League champions in the space of four days.

The game against AZ is effectively a dead rubber for United, who are already through to the knockouts as group winners.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of this fixture.

The defender suffered knee ligament damage over pre-season and it remains unclear as to when he will make a full recovery.
