Manchester United team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Watford

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester United's injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's Premier League fixture against Watford.

Manchester United return to Premier League action on Saturday afternoon when they square off against Watford.

Having lost three of their most recent four fixtures in the top flight, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side find themselves down in sixth position in the standings.

To add to the Norwegian's frustration, there are a number of key players in the treatment room as he continues to fight for his future at Old Trafford.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Man United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their trip to Vicarage Road.


Paul Pogba

Status: Out
Type of injury: Thigh
Possible return date: Unknown

Pogba sustained a thigh injury during the early stages of international duty with France. While an official recovery time has not been disclosed, the midfielder will play no part on Saturday.


Raphael Varane

Status: Out
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: December 5 (vs. Crystal Palace)

After Varane picked up a hamstring injury against Atalanta BC earlier this month, Solskjaer revealed that the centre-back would likely spend a month on the sidelines.


Luke Shaw

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Concussion
Possible return date: November 20 (vs. Watford)

Shaw needed to be withdrawn through concussion during the defeat against Manchester City, an injury which led to the left-back missing out on England's recent double-header. He will continue to be assessed ahead of this game.


Scott McTominay

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Illness
Possible return date: November 20 (vs. Watford)

McTominay missed out on Scotland's win over Denmark on Monday night due to illness. However, the midfielder has since revealed on social media that he had "recovered well", suggesting that he should be available on Saturday.


Edinson Cavani

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Tendon
Possible return date: November 20 (vs. Watford)

Cavani has missed out on Uruguay's recent fixtures, the forward citing a tendon injury as the reason. With United well stocked for options in the final third, Solskjaer is unlikely to take any risks on the veteran.


MAN UNITED'S SUSPENSION LIST

While Pogba is serving the final game of a three-match suspension, the Frenchman would not have featured anyway due to injury.
