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

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

Manchester United will be looking to keep their momentum going when they host Sheffield United in the Premier League on Wednesday evening.

The Red Devils beat Liverpool 3-2 on Sunday to advance through to the fourth round of the FA Cup and extend their unbeaten run to five matches.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men are in the middle of an intense run of fixtures, with focus now returning to league matters and this midweek visit of bottom side Sheffield United.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Man United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.

Marcos Rojo has not featured for United all season and has been tipped to leave the club before the January transfer window closes. The defender is currently sidelined with what is believed to be a minor calf injury sustained in mid-December.


Facundo Pellistri

Facundo Pellistri joined United from Penarol last October but has yet to make his senior debut. That first appearance for the club has been delayed after the youngster tested positive for coronavirus earlier this month, meaning that his availability remains unknown.
