Phil Jones , Chris Smalling, Marouane Fellaini and Paul Pogba are all expected to be out nursing injuries.

And despite Wayne Rooney claiming he is fit and ready to play, there are still some concerns following a knee injury that has kept him out for the last three weeks.

Meanwhile to matters off the pitch, SunSport revealed earlier today how the club's strong interest in Neymar has set “alarm bells ringing” at Barcelona, according to reports in Catalonia.

Jose Mourinho wants to bring in a huge name in the summer as he tries to bring the Red Devils back among the elite of world football.

And claims United have met with Neymar’s representatives and are ready to offer the Brazilian a staggering £416,000-a-week after tax.

The 20-time English champions would offer him a better “financial and football opportunity” than is available to him at Barcelona — and meet the £173million buy-out clause.
