TEAM NEWS

Manchester United's Alexis Sanchez is expected to be out for up to six weeks after he suffered a hamstring injury.

Victor Lindelof is also out, while fellow defenders Marcos Rojo and Matteo Darmian are both doubtful, so Diogo Dalot is on standby for a league debut.

Southampton forward Danny Ings will miss a third straight game because of a hamstring problem, while Ryan Bertrand is struggling with a back complaint.

Matt Targett suffered a head injury in the Carabao Cup and will be assessed.

So Mourinho expects me to on Gen for this useless formation.


For Christ sake, teams like this should be used for training and nincompoops like mctominay and Lukaku should be brought in second half.

Game on!

One day Mourinho go try Matic as goal keeper.
