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

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester United's injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League clash with Watford on Saturday.

Manchester United will seek to maintain their fourth-placed standing in the Premier League when they welcome Watford to Old Trafford on Saturday.

The Red Devils are currently holding off the threat of West Ham United and Arsenal, although the Gunners cut that lead to one point with victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Thursday.

Ralf Rangnick's side enter the contest having managed to rescue a 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, as Anthony Elanga's effort cancelled out Joao Felix's header.

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