Having lost three of their most recent four fixtures in the top flight, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side find themselves down in sixth position in the standings.

To add to the Norwegian's frustration, there are a number of key players in the treatment room as he continues to fight for his future at Old Trafford.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Man United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their trip to Vicarage Road.
