Manchester United team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Barcelona

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the first leg of their Champions League last-eight tie with Barcelona.

Manchester United head into the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Barcelona on Wednesday having suffered three defeats in their last four games.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has just been made the club's manager on a full-time basis, but two setbacks against Wolverhampton Wanderers and being beaten by Arsenal has left the Norwegian and his squad under pressure.

However, United go head to head with the Catalan giants having overturned a first-leg deficit to edge out Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for Solskjaer's team ahead of welcoming the La Liga leaders.



MANCHESTER UNITED'S INJURY LIST
