Manchester United are in FA Cup action tomorrow night when they make the short trip to Wigan Athletic in the third round.
The League One side will pose a tricky test for United and it is not yet 100 per cent clear which players will be making the trip to the DW Stadium. As has been the theme for the Reds this season, injuries are plaguing their squad with several men sidelined.
However, there is a chance some will be able to return to the pitch at Wigan or in the near future. With this in mind, MEN Sport has rounded up the latest injury news from Carrington.
