Manchester United have an excellent opportunity to move closer to their first trophy under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with a first-leg clash against Manchester City in the EFL Cup semi-final on Tuesday.
However, the Red Devils will need to considerably improve on a recent 0-0 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers if they are to get the upper hand in this tie.
City, the current holders of the EFL Cup, will want to exact revenge on their neighbours following last month's 2-1 defeat to United at the Etihad.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of this fixture.
