Manchester United's injury woes are yet to ease up ahead of their tricky trip to Norwich City on Sunday, October 27, 2019.

The Red Devils will be looking to build on their 1-1 draw against Liverpool last weekend when they face the newly-promoted side, who currently sit in the relegation zone with just seven points.

However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could be staring at a possible squad selection headache, with up to six players facing a race against time to full fitness ahead of the encounter.

Paul Pogba, who is a long-term absentee, is expected to sit out during the league match alongside Axel Tuanzebe, who picked up a hip injury minutes before the Liverpool cracker.

Defensive pair Luke Shaw (hamstring) and Eric Bailly (knee) are also yet to make a return to team action, while struggling midfielders Diogo Dalot and Nemanja Matic remain sidelined.

On the other hand, Solskjaer could welcome the return of David De Gea, who missed United's Europa League trip to Partizan.

"We're working very hard to get them fit and hopefully we can get them back soon. I'm not gonna put a deadline but it won't be too long, hopefully," Solskjaer was quoted saying ahead of the Norwich clash.
