Mourinho: Mkhitaryan and Carrick may miss EFL Cup final

The midfielders were substituted in Wednesday's Europa League win over Saint-Etienne and Mourinho believes they will be unavailable for Sunday's game

Jose Mourinho suspects Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Michael Carrick will miss Manchester United's EFL Cup final against Southampton after they were taken off in Wednesday's Europa League win over Saint-Etienne.

Mkhitaryan made the difference in the second leg in France, diverting a Juan Mata ball into the net 15 minutes in. But his night was cut short soon after when he pulled up with an apparent hamstring problem, leading to him being replaced by Marcus Rashford.

Carrick was then substituted shortly after the hour mark, with Bastian Schweinsteiger filling in.
