Update on Fred, Shaw and Cavani

The boss told MUTV's Stewart Gardner at Carrington on Friday that Fred is set to miss the Premier League game at Arsenal over the weekend. However, the Brazil international is targeting a comeback in next week's home fixture with Chelsea.

The South American's availability would be a boost, with Paul Pogba likely to be absent for the remainder of the campaign with a calf problem.

"[With] Fred, we don’t know," said Ralf. "Hopefully, he will be an option for the game against Chelsea, but, tomorrow, no."

The 29-year-old has been out since being forced off in the 1-0 defeat to Everton earlier this month.
