Manchester United team news: Injury, suspension list vs. AC Milan

Man United injury, suspension list vs. AC Milan

Manchester United travel to San Siro on Thursday for the second leg of their Europa League last-16 tie with AC Milan, which is poised at 1-1 following last week's reverse fixture.

Amad Diallo gave United the lead at Old Trafford with an unorthodox first goal for the club, but Simon Kjaer levelled up in the second minute of injury time.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men quickly picked themselves up by seeing off West Ham United 1-0 in the Premier League on Sunday, making it 13 games without a defeat in all competitions.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's injury and suspension news ahead of the match with Milan, who are second in Serie A.


Juan Mata

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

Juan Mata has been sidelined for nearly a month with an unspecific issue. Solskjaer hopes to have the midfielder back before the international break, though he accepted that it is not possible to put an exact timeframe on his return.


Paul Pogba

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

Paul Pogba is another whom Solskjaer is eager to get back to fitness before the upcoming international break, though that is looking increasingly unlikely as the Frenchman is still not back in training.


Phil Jones

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

Phil Jones has not played for United at all this season because of a knee problem. The centre-back, who has another year to run on his contract, is closing in on a return to first-team training.


Edinson Cavani

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Knock Possible return date: March 18 (vs. Milan)

Edinson Cavani's absence from the side has coincided with strong speculation over the striker's United future. The Uruguay international returned from a muscle injury against Crystal Palace on March 3, but he has sat out the last three games with a knock.


Donny van de Beek

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Muscle Possible return date: March 18 (vs. Milan)

Netherlands international Donny van de Beek has been struggling with a muscular issue that has kept him out for more than a month. Although the problem is not serious, Solskjaer is unsure if the midfielder will be back before April.
