Ander Herrera, Jesse Lingard, Ashley Young, and Marcos Rojo all missed the open training session ahead of Manchester United’s clash against Valencia UEFA Champions League encounter on Tuesday 2nd October at Old Trafford in a 2 PM kick off.
Lingard did not travel with the squad for Man Utd’s defeat to West Ham United over the weekend. Young, on the other hand, played full 90 minutes against in the West Ham clash and was even handed the armband. Rojo suffered an unspecified injury when he played for the Man Utd Under 23 side against Reading last month and has made just five club appearances this year.
If Young will not be able to play in the clash against Valencia, Jose Mourinho will have to rely on either Diogo Dalot or Matteo Darmian in the right back position with Antonio Valencia currently missing.
