Manchester United injury news: Red Devils hit by fresh injury blow ahead of Leeds United clash with six ruled out

Manchester United will be without six players for Wednesday evening’s Premier League meeting with Leeds United at Old Trafford.

Antony is the latest player on the treatment table after the winger suffered a knock in the win over Crystal Palace last weekend while Anthony Martial and Scott McTominay are still unavailable.

"They [Martial and McTominay] are not involved tomorrow," confirmed manager Erik ten Hag at his press conference on Tuesday. "And the same with Antony dos Santos. He is also not available for tomorrow so we have to sort that out."

Donny van de Beek and Christian Eriksen are both out with long-term knee and ankle issues while Brazilian midfielder Casemiro will serve the first of a three-game suspension after being sent off for violent conduct against Palace.

Ten Hag admitted the club had considered appealing the red card but opted against it, with Casemiro also suspended for Sunday’s trip to Leeds.

"I'm the manager," he responded when asked how he could cope with the injury and suspension problems. "I always have to play with the players who are available. We have a squad, we have many good players available in that squad, who are not always in the starting XI. So, others [will] get the chance and I have to do it.

"After the game, I can't say Casemiro is not there, Anthony Martial is not there. No, we have to win. This squad, all players in [it], are Man United capable, so they have to perform tomorrow and we have to win the games, no matter who is coming on the pitch."
