Manchester United will give Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Dan James as long as possible to prove their fitness for the Old Trafford derby on Sunday.
Maguire missed Thursday’s FA Cup win at Derby County after twisting his ankle in training, but manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is hopeful the United skipper will recover in time to face Manchester City.
Wan-Bissaka complained of a sore back after last weekend’s draw at Everton and was ruled out of the Derby game, while James sustained a knock in the Europa League win over Club Bruges and has missed the last two matches.
