Man Utd team news and injury latest to face Everton in the Premier League fixture on Monday night.
Manchester United have been handed a fitness boost ahead of their trip to face Everton in the Premier League fixture on Monday night.

United have been handed a rare 13-day gap between matches and will also hope the extra time off works to their advantage on their first trip to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
United were without three players for the 1-1 draw against West Ham, while defender Harry Maguire suffered an injury scare when he was taken off in the second half of the match.
