Manchester United meet Rochdale at Old Trafford in the EFL Cup third round looking to move on from Sunday's loss to West Ham United.
The 2-0 defeat at the London Stadium has cast fresh questions over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his players, who have mustered just five wins from their last 16 games.
However, they will consider this cup competition, which they won in 2017, to serve as a potential silver lining to what promises to be a difficult league campaign.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for United ahead of the match at the London Stadium.

Type of injury: Groin
Possible return date: Unknown
Rashford never looked right against West Ham, seemingly lacking fitness and bite, and it was therefore no surprise to see him pull up with a groin problem. He is due for scans this week, but Solskjaer has already declared that the 21-year-old would be out 'for a while'.
