Maguire, Pogba, Rashford, Sancho - Manchester United injury news and return dates vs Brighton

Interim manager Ralf Rangnick has delivered mixed news on the selection front as Manchester United continue to prepare for their Premier League contest against Brighton on Saturday afternoon (5.30pm). Harry Maguire is back in training and could feature against the Seagulls.

However, there are two fresh setbacks for United before their long, long trip south, with Marcus Rashford and Eric Bailly (back) on the treatment table. Bailly does have a chance to recover in time, but England forward Rashford has been ruled out due to bronchitis.

During his pre-match press conference, Rangnick shared an update on those players and more as Paul Pogba (calf), meanwhile, addressed his own recovery on social media. Pogba has stepped up his training - but only has two more opportunities for a United farewell. Here is the current state of play with injuries.
