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

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's Premier League meeting with Cardiff City.

Manchester United play host to Cardiff City on Sunday afternoon unable to earn a top-four spot in the Premier League standings.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had been hoping that back-to-back wins against Huddersfield Town and Cardiff would be enough to earn a spot in next season's Champions League, but United were held to a 1-1 draw at the John Smith's Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

United can now only finish in fifth position, but they must see off their Welsh opponents and hope that Arsenal do not defeat Burnley at Turf Moor.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for the North-West giants ahead of the game at Old Trafford.
