sportsmole.co.uk, 9 May 2024, 12:41
Manchester United will be aiming to bounce back from their four-goal defeat at Crystal Palace when they welcome title-challenging Arsenal to Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday.

Erik ten Hag's side suffered a 4-0 loss to Palace last time out, with the result keeping them in eighth spot in the Premier League table, two points behind sixth-placed Newcastle United.

The 20-time English champions will face Arsenal, Newcastle and Brighton & Hove Albion in their final three league games of the season before tackling Manchester City in the FA Cup final.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Arsenal, who are top of the division, one point clear of second-placed Man City.

Harry Maguire

Raphael Varane

Status: Out

Victor Lindelof

Status: Out

Possible return date: Unknown

Malacia is bidding to recover from a knee injury which has required two separate operations, and the Dutchman will not be available for Man United until next season.

Anthony Martial

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Groin

Possible return date: May 12 (vs. Arsenal)

Scott McTominay

Status: Minor doubt

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: May 12 (vs. Arsenal)

McTominay was forced off in the latter stages of the clash against Burnley on April 27 due to a knee injury, but he was close to featuring against Palace and should therefore be available this weekend.
