The Red Devils have had plenty of injury troubles over the past 18 months and they have suffered another setback ahead of next weekend's game.

Victor Lindelof picked up a hamstring injury playing for Sweden vs Slovakia and he is now expected to be sidelined for some period of time.

The news is a blow for the Red Devils, considering the Swede would have been a nailed-on starter alongside Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez .

New manager Ruben Amorim is expected to play with a three-man backline and Lindelof's injury has presented a selection headache for the Portuguese.

Leny Yoro has just returned to training after foot surgery and may not be risked. Casemiro or Jonny Evans could start alongside the centre-back duo. Harry Maguire is injured.

Evans is the specialist option for the manager, but Casemiro could get the nod in a makeshift role if Amorim wants more intensity and work rate.
