Man Utd without eight players for Leeds United clash

Manchester United will be without eight players for the Premier League clash against Leeds United at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon.

The Red Devils played out a frustrating 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford in midweek. Despite the result, they are only three points behind fourth-placed Liverpool in the standings.

The club will be aiming to boost their Champions League push with a win this weekend. Ahead of the encounter, manager Ruben Amorim will be without the services of eight players including Mason Mount.

Mount sustained a hamstring injury on Boxing Day against Newcastle United and he is a certain absentee alongside midfield duo Kobbie Mainoo and Bruno Fernandes, who are nursing minor concerns as well.

Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire are back in individual training after respective injuries, but the game will come too soon for the centre-backs.

Bryan Mbeumo, Noussair Mazraoui and Amad Diallo are likewise set to miss out due to their participation in the Africa Cup of Nations.
