“We’re in good shape really,” United boss Michael Carrick told reporters. “Matheus has done a little bit of work, so we’re hopeful. We’re not sure but we’re hopeful.<\/p>\n
“Matthijs [de Ligt] is still a little bit further [off] and not involved in the game. Other than that, we are in good shape.”<\/p>\n
Also certain to miss the contest is Lisandro Martinez, who is serving the final game of a three-match suspension.<\/p>\n
On facing Liverpool, Carrick added: “I’m fully aware of the situation in the league and how close it is between us, but that’s not something we’re really focused on going into this game. I think it’s a one-off game. <\/p>\n
“They’ve got terrific players, they’re a good team and they won the league last year. We obviously respect everything that goes into the game. We’re treating it as that \u2013 as a one-off game. The league position is what it is but Sunday is a whole different ball game.” <\/p>\n
