“Not too many as we’ve lost Luke and Ashley through suspension. Antonio is still not fit.
“Maybe Matteo [Darmian] will be available for the bench and Rojo has been training for a while.
â€He’s available and we’ve got Jonah [Phil Jones], who could also play there.
“Rojo needed to get out on the big pitch [in the Under-23s’ game against West Brom last Friday] so he could have that game but we’ve had a couple of practice matches so let’s see what we decide.”
Meanwhile, United are set to still be without midfielders Ander Herrera (thigh) and Nemanja Matic (illness).
