Tough one for Louis van Gaal
Speculation over exactly which Manchester United players are injured has raged all through the international break but this morning the club has confirmed that a dozen first-teamers are potentially going to miss out.
David de Gea, Rafael, Luke Shaw, Phil Jones and Jonny Evans are deemed by the club’s official website to be ‘doubts’ while Marcos Rojo and Daley Blind are definitely out of the game at the Emirates.
Also definitely out of action are Ashley Young and Jesse Lingaard while Michael Carrick and Angel di Maria (thanks to Nani) are also on the treatment table.
Up front, only Falcao is in danger of missing the game, but the club say the Colombian is ‘close’ to a return.
