By Nairaland Forum Manchester United make their return to action following the mid-season break with the visit of Middlesbrough for the fourth round of the FA Cup on Friday night.
Ralf Rangnick’s side waited until the dying embers to see off West Ham United in their last Premier League battle, with Marcus Rashford’s injury-time winner settling the contest.
The Red Devils also had to rely on a 1-0 scoreline to beat Aston Villa in the third round of the FA Cup thanks to Scott McTominay’s strike, but Rangnick will expect to welcome several players back for the fourth round.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Man United’s latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.
