Manchester United have been dealt a huge blow ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash against Liverpool with the news that Paul Pogba has been ruled out, while goalkeeper David De Gea faces a scan and is a major injury doubt.
Pogba has been battling an ankle problem and United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed that the 26-year-old has suffered a setback in his recovery.
Solskjaer told Sky Sports: "Paul had an injury, he came back, he worked really hard. He came back and played a couple of games, maybe played through the pain barrier.
"He had a scan after the Arsenal game and maybe needed a few weeks' rest in a boot so hopefully he won't be too long, but he won't make this game, no."
De Gea was forced off in Spain's Euro 2020 qualifier against Sweden on Tuesday night and Solskjaer admits he is also likely to miss the Liverpool clash at Old Trafford.
"I think he'll be out. It certainly looked like it anyway judging on last night so it's just one of those things," Solskjaer added.
De Gea's likely absence will see Sergio Romero make a rare start for United.
Despite his status as Argentina's number one keeper, Romero did not make a single Premier League appearance for the Red Devils last season.
