Erik ten Hag says there is some 'positive' news surrounding Manchester United's injured players but he does not expect any of them back in the squad to face Chelsea tonight.

United will be looking to return to winning ways when they host Mauricio Pochettino's side at Old Trafford on Wednesday and will largely rely on the same squad that lost to Newcastle at the weekend.

United were without seven injured players for their last match and it is unclear whether any of them will be in the squad later today.

Mason Mount is understood to be close to a return to action after a recent calf injury, with Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro all having longer-term injury concerns.
