Manchester United will look to return to winning ways in the Premier League on Thursday night when they travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea.
Erik ten Hag’s men failed to make ground in their hunt for Champions League football on Saturday with a 1-1 draw at Brentford. United were poor at the Gtech Community Stadium with the Bees missing a number of big chances.
Mason Mount looked as though he had handed the Reds a vital away win when he scored in the sixth minute of added time. Kristoffer Ajer had other ideas though with a minute three minutes later.
The draw was made worse by Raphael Varane being forced off at half-time, as he was replaced by Harry Maguire. Here’s all the latest injury news ahead of Thursday’s game.
