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

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

Manchester United will be looking to make it back-to-back Premier League wins when they welcome Watford to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

The Red Devils recorded an impressive 2-0 win over Chelsea on Monday night to move to within three points of the fourth-placed Blues in the table.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have been in action since then, though, drawing 1-1 with Club Brugge in the first leg of their last-32 Europa League tie on Thursday night.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Nigel Pearson's side, who are 19th in the table.
