Manchester United team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Watford

Sports Mole rounds up all of Manchester United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's FA Cup clash with Watford.

Manchester United will be looking to put Wednesday's EFL Cup semi-final disappointment behind them when they take on Watford in the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday night.

The Red Devils were prevented from reaching their first final under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as they suffered a 2-0 loss to Manchester City at Old Trafford.

The 20-time English champions have been on an excellent run in the Premier League and will have the chance to go to the top of the table when they travel to Burnley on January 12.

United's attention will now be on the FA Cup, though, as Solskjaer looks to lead his side past Championship opposition.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of this weekend's clash with the Hornets.
