Six absences loom as Amorim regains key men

Manchester United could be missing up to six players when they host Sunderland at Old Trafford on Saturday. Ruben Amorim is without Noussair Mazraoui and Lisandro Martinez but can recall Casemiro and Amad.

Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris welcomes back Nordi Mukiele, while his other injured players remain out. United’s league position is so tense that even Old Trafford’s statues might be checking the relegation zone table.
