Paul Pogba

Status: Out
Type of injury: Ankle
Possible return date: February 23 (vs. Watford)

Paul Pogba underwent ankle surgery last month and only returned to training this week, meaning this match will come too soon for his return. The France international continues to be strongly linked with a move away from Old Trafford but will be at the club until at least the summer.

Marcus Rashford

Status: Out
Type of injury: Back
Possible return date: Unknown

Marcus Rashford is not expected to return until at least March having suffered a stress fracture to his back against Wolves on January 15. The England international had been in fine form for the Red Devils, scoring 19 times in all competitions this term from a wide position.
