FCSBvs.Man Utd

Having returned to winning ways in the Premier League with victory at Fulham, Ruben Amorim's side make the trip to Bucuresti to try to secure automatic progression to the last 16 of the Europa League.

United head into this fixture sitting in fourth place in the table and unbeaten in seven matches, albeit still in need of maximum points to guarantee their place in the top eight.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's injury and suspension news ahead of their contest with their Romanian hosts, who sit just one point adrift of them in the standings.

Luke Shaw

Status: Out

Type of injury: Hamstring

Possible return date: February 8 (vs. Leicester City)

Shaw has only made three appearances this season due to ongoing injury problems, but Amorim has said that the left-back could return to training before the end of the month, while he could be available for selection towards the start of February.

Mason Mount

Status: Out

Type of injury: Unspecified

Possible return date: Unknown

Mount was again absent against Fulham due to the problem which forced him off the field against Manchester City in the Manchester derby last month, and the Englishman is still not close to making his return.

Jonny Evans

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Muscle

Possible return date: January 26 (vs. Fulham)

Experienced centre-back Evans is not currently available for selection due to a muscular problem, and he is again expected to miss out against FCSB on Thursday night.

Manuel Ugarte

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Knock

Possible return date: January 30 (vs. FCSB)

Ugarte needed to be withdrawn during the latter stages against the Cottagers due to a knock picked up in a challenge. As it stands, it is unclear whether the Uruguay international will be risked given United's position in the standings.
