Man Utd suffer injury blows ahead of Man City Cup semi

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been hit by a raft of injuries ahead of the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final against Manchester City.

Anthony Martial, Jesse Lingard and Luke Shaw all missed United's 0-0 FA Cup third round tie at Wolves on Saturday, while Harry Maguire faces an anxious wait to see if he recovers from a foot injury sustained in that game.

United host CIty at Old Trafford tomorrow, with Solskjaer admitting he will give those ill and injured players as much time as possible to recover in time for the clash.

"We're going to give them as much time as we can, that's the most correct and honest answer I can give," said Solskajer.

"Some of them are still not ready. If it was a game today, I'm not sure they could perform at their best, but it's another 36 hours until I give them the team."
