There are no new injury worries for Manchester United boss José Mourinho ahead of the Reds’ visit to Hull City on Saturday evening.
United will be looking to continue their fine start to the Premier League season after making it two wins out of two with a win against Southampton at Old Trafford last week.
The only injury worry United have had recently is Jesse Lingard, who has not featured since coming off with a knock during United’s Community Shield victory against Leicester City almost three weeks ago, but he has returned to training with the first-team and the 23-year-old is in contention for a spot on the bench.
In his pre-match press conference, Mourinho said that he was happy with the size of the squad and insisted there would be no late transfer activity at Old Trafford this year:
I have 23 players in the squad and, in principle, there is nobody leaving and nobody is coming. It’s more than enough and if you have a problem or an opportunity then I have a few young players in the Academy that I will be more than happy to give them an acceleration in their process.
I think we are going to have a very quiet week. Not surrounded by helicopters waiting for someone to arrive or leave – I am more than happy with the squad I have.
The United boss also said he was happy with the group United were given in the Europa League draw today, with Fenerbahce, Feyenoord and Zorya Luhansk the Reds’ opponents in the group stage:
There are groups in the Champions League that are very similar, so it is good for that. We know that it will be a difficult group, but I think that is a good thing. If you have teams without expression then even the fans may not enjoy nights at Old Trafford. It is good for the fans and for the players because it will help motivation.
