Manchester United picked up a result that manager Michael Carrick desperately needed in midweek, coming from 2-0 down to beat Roma in the UEFA Champions League.

Now the boss, whose preferred replacement at Old Trafford has already been named, needs his players to follow that up with a result in the Premier League as they take on Aston Villa this weekend.

United sit just outside the relegation zone, although they could drop into the bottom three buy the time they kick-off against the VIllans on Sunday afternoon.

Carrick has not been helped by a number of players who could be sidelined for the visit of Unai Emey's side. Here GIVEMESPORT takes a look at the players who look set to be missing against Villa.

Patrick Dorgu

The Danish international picked up a hamstring injury during the international break and had to return to Manchester United early as a result.

Carlos Baleba

Summer signing picked up an injury during the game with Roma in midweek and had to come off soon after half-time.

Carrick confirmed that it was a hamstring injury, but not how long it would keep the Cameroonian out for. He said: "I haven’t got any more news on Carlos at this stage, but it’s his hamstring. We’ll have to assess what that looks like, but initially, it doesn’t look great."

Harry Maguire

Defenderappeared to be limping as he was taken off before the full-time whistle in the midweek clash with Roma.

A hamstring injury may be the problem and he could miss the game with Aston Villa as a result.

Long-term absences

Manuel Ugarte is the main long-term injured player, out until next year with an anterior cruciate ligament injury. However, he was joined on the long-term injured list by Benjamin Sesko, whose shin injury looks set to keep him sidelined until the start of 2027.
