Michael Carrick confirms two Man Utd stars are out of Fulham clash

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has confirmed that he will be without two players for the Premier League clash against Fulham at Old Trafford on Sunday.

The Red Devils have been in superb form over the past couple of matches with victories over Manchester City and Arsenal. As a result, they have jumped to fourth in the league standings.

The club will be aiming to continue the good run when they entertain Fulham at home this weekend. Ahead of the encounter, Carrick has confirmed that Patrick Dorgu won't play any part.

The Dane is out for several weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury in the 3-2 win over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium last weekend. Alongside him, Matthijs de Ligt is out with a nagging back issue.

The Dutchman has been on the sidelines since November with the setback and he has yet to return to individual training. The centre-back's injury is becoming a big cause for concern for the Red Devils.
