Manchester United team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Derby County

Manchester United face a reunion with their all-time leading goalscorer Wayne Rooney on Thursday when taking on Derby County in the FA Cup fifth round.

The Red Devils have already overcome Wolverhampton Wanderers and Tranmere Rovers to remain on course for a record-equalling 13th success in the competition.

Despite being held to a 1-1 draw by Everton in the Premier League at the weekend, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men enter this match with Derby in good form, unbeaten as they are in eight games.
