Manchester United will assess injuries to Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount after winning against Burnley.
Cunha was forced off in the first half against the Clarets with what seemed to be a hamstring injury. Mount was replaced by Kobbie Mainoo at the interval after also picking up an injury.
Speaking at his post-match press conference, United boss Ruben Amorim provided an update on the pair and said: "I don't know [how they are]. We'll check them. We need those guys really bad to be competitive."
United crashed out of the Carabao Cup against Grimsby Town earlier in the week. That result increased the pressure on Amorim and meant a positive result against Burnley was required before the international break.
Burnley twice fought back after falling behind and looked to be on course for a draw, but Amad was brought down in the box in added time and Bruno Fernandes converted the late penalty.
"I think we deserved in the end to win the game," said Amorim. "We created a lot of chances and should have gone to half-time with a bigger advantage. And then everything in this moment, every possession near our box, they can score from that moment, so it's tough always chasing a lot of things.
"But we tried until the last minute to score goals and had our chances. In the end, we deserved the win."
Amorim continued: "When they [the players] put the effort, I will always love them. I think we need to understand that we should always be on this level of effort.
"Because even in the game, we played well at the beginning and then struggled when we changed the characteristics of the players because the match was not so perfect.
"And you can feel the team struggle a little bit, especially in the second half, but the effort was always there and we tried to put the ball in the box. We tried to put more people in the box, not just around the box to play the ball.
"Some of the things that we worked on and spoke about during the week were that they were doing that and focused on the game, which is the most important thing."
United will take on Manchester City when the Premier League resumes after the international break.
