Six players absent from Manchester United training

Manchester United may be without as many as six players for Thursday's Europa League fixture with Partizan.

The Premier League giants will qualify for the last 32 of the competition if they can register a second successive victory over the Serbian outfit.

However, as reported by The Mirror, half-a-dozen players were absent as United continued their preparations on Wednesday.

While Eric Bailly and Paul Pogba are known to be sidelined with knee and foot injuries respectively, Victor Lindelof and Nemanja Matic were among the others who failed to appear on the training ground.

Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may also have to make do without Axel Tuanzebe, who has been out since October 20, and fellow academy graduate Angel Gomes.

On a positive note, Luke Shaw is back in contention after over two months out.
