Manchester United are currently enduring an injury stricken period, with 11 first-team players unavailable for selection. The damage has been evident and continued to be evident last night, as they slumped to another defeat in Munich.

Erik ten Hag believes the teams defensive frailties have been due to the injuries, but also feels the mentality on the pitch could improve. United are hoping to welcome two players back into the fold this Saturday.

Them two players are Raphael Varane and Mason Mount.
