Manchester United team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Leeds United

Sports Mole rounds up all of Manchester United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League showdown with old rivals Leeds United.

Manchester United face old rivals Leeds United at Old Trafford on Sunday in what will be the first league meeting between the two sides since February 2004.

The Red Devils go into the game off the back of victory over Sheffield United - a result which leaves them sixth in the table and just two points off second.

However, their home form has been poor this season and they welcome a Leeds side that hit Newcastle United for five last time out.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Manchester United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.


Edinson Cavani

Possible return date: December 20 (vs. Leeds United)

Edinson Cavani has now missed the last three games with a muscle problem, but he was not too far from being available for the Sheffield United match and so could be in contention to return to the squad on Sunday.
