United could be left without Mount Mason who was taken off at half-time against Brighton with a knock.

Mount missed much of last season with injuries, so another issue will be a major concern.

Elsewhere, Rasmus Hojlund, Lucas Shaw and Leny Yoro stand by while Joshua Zirkzee and Matthijs de Ligt They are likely to make their first beginnings.

As for Liverpool, Jarrell Quansah has apparently already lost his place in central defence due to a minor problem.

United are keen to sign Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain and it is said to be A perfect fit for the club.

Ugarte has also been compared to a Liverpool legend by talkSPORT's South American football pundit Tim Vickery.

“They were so exposed to Fulham's counterattacks that they were lucky not to concede a goal. That's the hole they're expected to plug.”

“A defensive midfielder who protects the midfield and also creates plays with precise passes.”

“It reminds me a lot of Javier MascheranoI think this is a good option.

“This whole transfer window has been a game of poker between United and Paris Saint-Germain.

“But it seems that everything points to Ugarte going to United and trying to fill that gap.”
