Man United injury, suspension news vs. Manchester City: Luke Shaw, Kobbie Mainoo, Amad Diallo updates

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester United's injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League clash with Manchester City.

Manchester United will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they welcome Manchester City to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon for the latest instalment of the Manchester derby.

Ruben Amorim's side will enter the match off the back of a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest, with the result leaving them 13th in the Premier League table, boasting 37 points from 30 matches this season.

Man United will not be securing Champions League football for next term through the Premier League, but they could qualify for Europe's leading competition by winning the Europa League.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man United's injury and suspension news ahead of their contest with Man City, who are fourth in the table, one point ahead of fifth-placed Newcastle United.
