The latest Man Utd injury news and predicted return dates when they face West Ham in the Premier League.
Manchester United will be without three players due to injury when they travel to face West Ham in the Premier League on Tuesday night.
Michael Carrick has won his first four matches as United head coach and will hope to make it five in a row when they make the trip to the London Stadium in midweek. United are firmly in the race for Champions League qualification at the end of the season and are just three points behind Aston Villa in third place.
United will be hopeful of adding more points to their tally over the coming weeks, though there is almost a fortnight's break between their trips to face West Ham and Everton this month. The trip to London will come too soon for any of their injured players to return to action, though Carrick is hopeful he will have one of them back for the trip to Merseyside later this month.

Manchester United rule three players out of West Ham match due to injury
The trio all missed the weekend win over Tottenham Hotspur and none of them are expected to be in contention for the trip to East London in midweek. De Ligt has not played since the victory over Crystal Palace at the end of November, and Michael Carrick believes is still too soon to put a precise timeline on his return.
Dorgu is expected to be sidelined for the best part of two months after he suffered a hamstring injury against Arsenal last month and might not be available until after the March international break. Mount has missed the previous two matches due to a small knock in training, and although he is not set to return against West Ham, it is hoped he will be back to face Everton towards the end of the month.
"Mason will be probably not for Tuesday, probably after, but definitely going into the Everton game, yeah, he'll be back," Carrick said in his pre-match press conference. "Matthijs, we'll see how he develops over the Everton game, feels like a long time away at the moment, so we'll see how he develops, but he's he's positive, he's moving in the right direction, but Mason's a little bit closer than him."
