Manchester United: Double injury blow ‘confirmed’ before Leeds clash

Kobbie Mainoo and Luke Shaw are reportedly set to miss Manchester United's Premier League clash against Leeds United at Elland Road on Sunday. Both players reportedly did not travel with the squad after missing the midweek Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid. Head coach Michael Carrick remained non-committal about their availability during his pre-match press conference ahead of the must-win fixture.

Manchester United enter the game winless in their last five matches across all competitions. Shaw's potential absence creates a dilemma at left-back because Patrick Dorgu remains sidelined with an injury, though midfield options are bolstered by Carlos Baleba's return to fitness alongside Andrey Santos.
