Manchester United missing four key players for Premier League clash with Leeds

Erik ten Hag has confirmed Manchester United will be without three players for Wednesday night’s Premier League clash with rivals Leeds at Old Trafford.

United could move level on points with Manchester City with a win against the Yorkshire club, who sacked manager Jesse Marsch on Monday.

It is the first of a double-header against Leeds, with the reverse fixture at Elland Road coming up on Sunday.

Ten Hag saw his side beat Crystal Palace on Saturday but has already lost the services of Casemiro following his red card, a decision United will not appeal.

As a result, there is no risk of the vastly experienced Brazilian missing the Carabao Cup final.

Still, the Dutchman will have to call on his squad against Leeds.

Scott McTominay, one of the options to replace Casemiro, is missing with an unspecified problem while Anthony Martial’s injury-hit campaign will continue. The Frenchman missed the win over Palace with a hamstring issue and that will rule him once more.

Antony, meanwhile, is also not available.

Diogo Dalot, however, is in contention for the game, which could see Jadon Sancho start for the first time since October.
