PREM: Man United v Middlesbrough preview


Man United v Middlesbrough preview

Wayne Rooney will again be missing when Manchester United entertain Middlesbrough at Old Trafford.


A thigh injury ruled Rooney out against Sunderland on Boxing Day and while there is no definitive timescale on his return, Mourinho confirmed he will be missing against Boro.

Fellow England international Luke Shaw (groin) is back in training, though Mourinho does not yet consider him fit enough to start games again.

Middlesbrough defender Antonio Barragan will sit out through suspension.

Barragan collected his fifth booking of the season at Burnley on Boxing Day and must serve a one-match ban, and midfielders Marten de Roon and Adam Clayton will suffer the same fate if they receive yellow cards at Old Trafford in the final game before the disciplinary deadline.

Head coach Aitor Karanka otherwise has no fresh selection problems with only winger Viktor Fischer (knee) missing through injury.

Manchester United (from): De Gea, Romero, Johnstone, Valencia, Fosu-Mensah, Jones, Smalling, Rojo, Bailly, Darmian, Blind, Young, Fellaini, Carrick, Herrera, Schweinsteiger, Pogba, Lingard, Mata, Mkhitaryan, Martial, Rashford, Ibrahimovic.
