Man United injury news vs. Liverpool: Mount blow, Hojlund, Shaw return dates

Manchester United will be bidding to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they welcome Liverpool to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

The Red Devils opened their 2024-25 season with a 1-0 success over Fulham at Old Trafford, but they were beaten 2-1 by Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex last weekend.

There is pressure on head coach Erik ten Hag to deliver a positive result in this contest, as two defeats from three games would represent a poor start for the 20-time English champions.
