Mason Mount reacts after being forced off in the Manchester derby
Manchester United will face Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday evening as they look to book their place in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.
Ruben Amorim's side head to North London on the back of a dramatic 2-1 win over Manchester City in the Manchester derby on Sunday and they will be keen to carry on that positive momentum by booking their place in the last four of a competition they won two seasons ago.
Despite an interview from Marcus Rashford where he claimed he wants a fresh challenge away from United, Amorim insists both the England international and Alejandro Garnacho - who he also left out of the squad at Man City - are in contention to start at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
However, they will be without a few key players for their trip to North London. With that in mind, the Manchester Evening News have rounded up the latest United injury news.

Mason Mount
Injury: Leg muscle
Mount was taken off during the Manchester derby win after suffering a muscular injury. Mount looked heartbroken as he left the field, having suffered a number of injuries since joining from Chelsea last summer.
Amorim said after the win: "He stretched the leg in the one play, and then he felt something."
Potential return date: Unknown
Luke Shaw
Injury: Hamstring
Shaw returned to action in November after not featuring for United since February. However, he suffered a hamstring injury just weeks after his return and he is now expected to be out for several weeks.
Speaking about his latest setback, Shaw said: "Unfortunately, I've had a small setback. I've been through a lot, but this has definitely been my toughest period. I'm absolutely devastated, and it's extremely tough to come to terms with reality at this moment in time."
Potential return date: Unknown
Noussair Mazraoui
Injury: Unknown
Mazraoui has been one of United's strongest players but was seen limping in the mixed zone at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday and it remains to be seen whether he will be fit for the trip to Tottenham.
"It’s more the problem with Mason [Mount] and Nous," Amorim said after the win at City.
“You think right away, you go in the tunnel and think right away because we have a lot of games, you know.”
Potential return date: Unknown
Jonny Evans
Issue: Unknown
Jonny Evans has been missing since Amorim's first game in charge at Ipswich Town on November 24 but he has returned to training.
He was expected to be part of the squad for the Manchester derby but missed out. Thursday's clash with Spurs could be his second appearance under the new United boss.
