The manager opted not to provide an update when asked about his squad ahead of the visit of Arsenal
Jose Mourinho withheld team news from Manchester United's in-house TV channel after admitting he will have "difficulty" putting a team together to face Arsenal in the Premier League.
United go into Wednesday's clash with the Gunners looking for a first league win since November 3 as they face a side sitting eight points above them in the table.
Mourinho was without defenders Victor Lindelof, Chris Smalling and Eric Bailly as they were held to a disappointing 2-2 draw by lowly Southampton on Saturday, and he was asked by MUTV for an update on the injury crisis in defence.
