Man Utd XI vs AZ Alkmaar: Predicted line-up, team news and injury list for Europa League clash

Manchester United's injury problems continue as Paul Pogba and Aaron Wan-Bissaka remain among a number of high-profile absentees for Thursday's Europa League trip to AZ Alkmaar.

Pogba (foot) has not travelled to play on the plastic pitch in The Hague following specialist advice, while Wan-Bissaka (illness) misses out just as he did against Arsenal on Monday.

Anthony Martial, Luke Shaw, Ashley Young and Phil Jones were also omitted from the squad for the Group L match, but Angel Gomes and Diogo Dalot were available for the trip to Holland.

Brandon Williams was also named in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's travelling squad.

Solskjaer has little choice but to opt for youth up front, with Mason Greenwood almost certain to lead the line after his winner against Astana last time out in this competition.
