Man Utd have two ruled out of Liverpool showdown and three more injury doubts
Manchester United will be without two players when they face Liverpool this Sunday – and three more are doubts.
The Red Devils have gone top of the Premier League after beating Burnley earlier this week.
It saw them leapfrog their old rivals, who they had a game in hand over.
United have been in unstoppable form in the league, not losing a match since their 1-0 defeat to Arsenal on November 1.
But they face their sternest test next when they take on Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
The Reds have looked out of sorts lately, failing to win in three matches but need a win to draw level with United in the league.
And Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will go into the contest without Phil Jones or Brandon Williams, who would have done well to start regardless of their fitness.
The Norweigan also confirmed there were more doubts, including Anthony Martial.
"I'm going to give everyone another day. Anthony is not out of it," he said.

"The only ones certainly out are Brandon and Phil Jones, they're the two that definitely cannot make the game, a couple of others maybe doubts, but we're hoping, fingers crossed.
"Form goes out of the window when you play your rivals but our form gives us confidence, we're confident going into the game.
"We're the challengers, they're the champions, they've earned the right to be champions, we're challengers and hunters and you want something that they've had and they have.
"Our mentality will be to work hard, to be humble, and to do our best and see what we can get out of the game.
"For me, I'd rather be on top and have the points than chasing, but we are the challengers, we are the hunters, we are chasing the champions, over the course of a long season.
"They've got the cup, they are the champions, they are the ones everyone would like to beat and my players are the same.
"We are playing against the team that were best team in England last season, they've been incredible at home.
"Our mentality and mindset will be we need that extra edge, we have to be humble and fight for every single inch of grass.
"Because any little detail can decide one of these games, we've definitely not thought we're at the top and everyone is there to chase us."
