Latest Manchester United injury report as three players to miss Liverpool but Ten Hag handed boost
It’s hard to find a more important match than Liverpool versus Manchester United, and both teams are highly motivated to perform well and win the three points available at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
Liverpool needs these points to make up ground and secure a top-four spot in the standings, which would ensure their qualification for the Champions League next season.
On the other hand, Manchester United would make a significant statement by winning away against Liverpool, especially after United won against them in the previous fixture at the beginning of the season.
Jürgen Klopp, the coach of Liverpool, has confirmed that Luis Díaz, Thiago Alcântara, and Joe Gomez will not be available for selection in the upcoming game. However, he did not provide any new information regarding Naby Keïta’s fitness status, as he was absent in the previous game against Wolves due to a minor injury.
Manchester United also played on Wednesday, defeating West Ham United in the FA Cup with two late stoppage-time goals to secure a 3-1 victory.
This week is significant for Manchester United, as they recently played in the Carabao Cup final and now face Liverpool, but their attacking options are not as deep as those of their opponents.
Additionally, Manchester United is facing a shortage of players in the midfield area, with Donny van der Beek and Christian Eriksen both out with knee and ankle injuries, respectively. Furthermore, Anthony Martial is currently unavailable due to his own injury issue.
There is some good news for Manchester United, as Jadon Sancho and Luke Shaw may be available for selection. Sancho has been ill recently, but there is a chance that he has recovered in time to play in the game against Liverpool. Shaw is also expected to return after missing some games due to injury.
Manchester United made several changes to their lineup for the midweek cup tie against West Ham, but they are expected to field a strong team against Liverpool.
Shaw’s return would be particularly significant, as he has been an important player in defense for Ten Hag.
In case Sancho is unable to play, Antony and Alejandro Garnacho are also available as options for the team. However, it remains to be seen if they will be fit enough to participate in the match.
