Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha injury latest ahead of Manchester United vs Brentford

Manchester United are hopeful that both Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha will be available for Monday’s Premier League clash with Brenford.

Cunha was forced off during last weekend’s 1-0 win over Chelsea after suffering discomfort in his right groin.

Meanwhile, Mbeumo also limped off in the closing stages at Stamford Bridge when he was replaced by Joshua Zirkzee.

Michael Carrick did not provide an update on the attacking duo in Thursday’s pre-match press conference, although Mbeumo was seen in training that morning.

Cunha, however, was not pictured training with the team as he undertook a recovery day away from the rest of the squad.

Elsewhere, Leny Yoro was not fit enough to return to training on Thursday, but Carrick sounded hopeful that the Frenchman could return against Brentford after missing out last weekend due to a knock.

‘We’re still working on [Leny],’ he said. ‘So, there’s a possibility, there’s a possibility, but at this stage, it’s not 100 per cent sure.’

Carrick also provided an update on Patrick Dorgu, who has not featured since injuring his hamstring in late January.

‘Patrick’s working his way to being back,’ the Red Devils boss added.

‘He’s certainly making good progress and back closer to training with us, which is positive, so that’s good news.’

United will be able to welcome Harry Maguire back from suspension, but remain without Lisandro Martinez as he serves the second game of his three-match ban.

Matthijs de Ligt remains unavailable with a back issue, which has kept him out since late November.
