Man United injury, suspension news vs. Man City: Luke Shaw, Jonny Evans updates ahead of Manchester derby

Manchester United will be aiming to bounce back from successive defeats in the Premier League when they head to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon to tackle Manchester City in the Manchester derby.

The Red Devils have been beaten in their last two league games against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest, which has left them down in 13th spot in the Premier League table.

However, Ruben Amorim's side will enter this match off the back of a positive result, having come from behind to beat Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League on Thursday night.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's injury and suspension news ahead of their contest with Man City, who have only won one of their last 10 games in all competitions during a hugely difficult period.

Man United have no players suspended for the Premier League clash.
