Seven players to miss Everton vs Manchester United clash

Michael Carrick’s Manchester United side will aim to win for a second consecutive game on Sunday afternoon against Everton in the Premier League.

Having earned three points against The Toffees last season at Hill Dickinson Stadium, thanks to Benjamin Sesko’s second half winner, United will return to Merseyside with good memories.

United did not make any signings on deadline day to boost their squad whilst Everton have completed seven transfers in the days leading up to Sunday’s clash.

Ahead of the fixture, attention is being shed on the players that could play in the game and those who could miss out due to injury.

For Manchester United, the injury list currently consists of new signing Carlos Baleba, Matthijs de Ligt, Tom Heaton, and Manuel Ugarte.

Mason Mount and Amad Diallo have also been missing, with the former injured against Paris Saint Germain in pre-season whilst the latter has not played since United’s fixture against AC Milan last month.

Baleba, on the other hand, could return for this month’s Manchester derby although may have his debut for the club delayed until October.

It remains unclear when Ugarte, de Ligt, and Heaton will return to action, in contrast, with further updates from Michael Carrick on the trio likely to come in the coming weeks.

For Everton, on the other hand, Christian Norgaard is likely to miss the clash with United.

Norgaard, who signed for the club from Arsenal during the summer transfer window, is yet to make his debut for The Toffees.

It remains unclear when the midfielder will return to action although manager David Moyes did provide an update on him last weekend, saying: “Christian is still not making great progress at the moment.

“It’s not something where we’re probably going to get him back quickly, so we’ll just need to see how that develops.”

The fixture is scheduled to kick-off on Sunday at 14:00 BST and will be shown on Sky Sports.
