Manchester
Untied boss Louis van Gaal has confirmed that Michael Carrick is the only player
out for the clash against West Ham.
The
former West Ham midfielder suffered a calf injury in a training last week. The 33-year-old is out for a month, according to to the manager.
Van
Gaal has suffered a lot with the injury problems in the first half of the
season but is now back with almost a full squad. Carrick’s presence will be
missed as he has been a star performer for the Red Devils.
Meanwhile,
Van Gaal has a fully fit defensive line, centre-back Jonny Evans has also returned
to full fitness and could start the game. Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo are already
back and this would be the first time this season that Untied have a fully fit
defence.
The
Red Devils are on the third place in the Premier League table, five points
behind the second spot side Manchester City but have only a point difference
with Southampton and Arsenal who are sitting at fourth and fifth spots, respectively.
