Ahead of this game, Ralf Rangnick has revealed that numerous United players are unavailable:

“It’s possible. We have quite a few players missing tomorrow, one or two still with question marks. (We have to see if) Aaron Wan-Bissaka can be available, I already played Hannibal at Liverpool, it’s possible but we have to be fair enough to those players, it has to be the right moment. They should have the chance to play well and perform well, it should be the right moment.
