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

Manchester United will aim to win their fifth Premier League game on the bounce when Manchester City make the journey to Old Trafford for Sunday's Manchester derby.

The Red Devils have not been in action in the top flight since defeating Arsenal 3-1 on September 4, losing to Real Sociedad and beating Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League since then.

Erik ten Hag's men have stormed to fifth in the table since recovering from their disastrous start to the new season, and victory on Sunday would see them cut the gap to the champions - who have played a game more - down to two points.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the derby with Man City, who sit second in the table with 17 points to their name.

The extent of the damage is currently unclear, but the centre-back is reported to be facing a couple of weeks on the sidelines.
