Manchester United take on Leeds United on Wednesday night at Old Trafford looking to record a 14th successive home win in all competitions.
The Red Devils will have to win the game without a number of key players who are unavailable for the match through injury and suspension.
Erik ten Hag told a press conference this would be no excuse, commenting: “This squad, all players in [it], are Man United capable, so they have to perform tomorrow, and we have to win the games no matter who is coming on the pitch.”
Here is a run through of all the absentees ahead of Manchester United’s midweek match…
