Early team news for United v Man City in Carabao Cup

However, speaking to the media after the match, our Norwegian manager told reporters he was optimistic that the absentees could return to restrengthen his squad for the second Manchester derby of 2019/20.

“I hope so,” Solskjaer said. “They've had a night or two in their own beds and hopefully some Bovril or paracetamol.

”We’ll check on Monday probably or maybe some of them will be in tomorrow [Sunday].“

Diogo Dalot returned for his first senior minutes since early October during the contest at Molineux, coming on in the second half to replace Tahith Chong.

The boss also revealed last week that Eric Bailly, Tim Fosu-Mensah, Marcos Rojo and Axel Tuanzebe are all closer to being available for selection.
