Manchester United will remain without a number of key stars for their trip to West Ham United on Sunday.

After Thursday’s Europa League draw against Jose Mourinho and Fenerbahce, focus switches back to the Premier League with Bruno Fernandes available for the trip to east London having served a European suspension in Turkey.

Antony has joined the injury list after the Brazilian was stretchered off shortly after coming off the bench as United chased a winner last night.

Jonny Evans missed that trip with a knock and will be assessed ahead of Sunday’s game but his absence would put more pressure on an already injury-hit backline.

Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia remain unavailable as problems continue at left-back but the availability of Noussair Mazraoui, who played in a more advanced role against Fenerbahce, will at least allow Erik ten Hag to deploy Diogo Dalot at left-back again if he chooses.

Casemiro picked up a knock in the 2-1 win over Brentford on Saturday but was deemed fit enough to make the trip to Istanbul, coming on as a second-half substitute.

Kobbie Mainoo however remains sidelined along with Mason Mount, whose recovery from his most recent setback is taken longer than expected, ten Hag revealed this week.

Harry Maguire is also among those unavailable as he works his way back from a knee injury.

There was good news for Leny Yoro this week with the summer signing pictured back in light training. United will hope to have him available as soon as possible.

How United could line up this weekend…

The 19-year-old suffered a fractured metatarsal in his second game for the club against Arsenal during the pre-season tour of the US, immediately undergoing surgery.

While there is no specific timeline for his return, Ten Hag will surely opt to carefully integrate him into the side with game time before the November international break unlikely.
