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

Sports Mole rounds up all of Manchester United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League clash with Manchester City.

Manchester United will be bidding to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they head to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon for the Manchester derby with Manchester City.

The Red Devils suffered a 2-1 home loss to Fulham in the Premier League last weekend, with the result denting their hopes of claiming Champions League football for next season.

Erik ten Hag's side sit three points behind fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur and eight from fourth-placed Aston Villa in the Premier League table, but they will enter the match off the back of a 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Man City, who are second in the table, one point behind the leaders Liverpool.
