Erik ten Hag is still without some key Manchester United forwards, despite Anthony Martial being back from a troubling period on the sidelines.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been back in the squad for some time after his indiscretion against Tottenham in October, while Martial returned to training at the end of October and made his first appearance in nearly a month against Aston Villa at the weekend.

The Frenchman has been absent since the 2-1 victory over Everton on 9 October and Ten Hag was finally able to call on him off the bench in the defeat at Villa Park.

But even with Martial available for the swift rematch with Villa in the Carabao Cup third round, his minutes will be determined by how well he has recovered since the weekend.

Antony is still a doubt because of an ongoing knock and Jadon Sancho may still be out through illness. Raphael Varane remains out despite being named in France's World Cup squad.

Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot could also feature against Villa despite Premier League suspensions.
