Three Man Utd stars ruled out of Man City clash

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has confirmed the absence of three key players for Sunday's Premier League derby against Manchester City on the road.

The Red Devils have picked up four points from their opening three league games. They will be eyeing their second victory of the season at the Etihad Stadium this weekend.

Ahead of the encounter, Amorim has revealed that Matheus Cunha, Mason Mount and Diogo Dalot won't take any part in the derby.

Cunha and Mount picked up muscle injuries against Burnley while Dalot also pulled out of international duty with some muscle discomfort.

The trio are not deemed for the upcoming contest, and Amorim will have to find alternative solutions to face Pep Guardiola's side on Sunday.

In the absence of Cunha and Mount, Bruno Fernandes looks set to start in attacking midfield alongside Bryan Mbeumo. Benjamin Sesko should lead the line after three substitute appearances in the league.

With Dalot sidelined, Noussair Mazraoui could make his first start of the campaign at either right wing-back or left wing-back against the Cityzens. He is fully fit after his injury woes earlier this summer.
