Manchester United aims to continue their winning streak in the Premier League with a clash against Everton on Sunday afternoon.
The Red Devils have secured four victories in their last five league encounters, propelling them to sixth place in the table. Erik ten Hag’s side, trailing just five points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, seeks to narrow the gap to the Champions League spots with a win at Goodison Park.
Here’s the latest on Man United’s injury and suspension concerns ahead of the Everton match, with the Toffees currently in 19th place due to a recent 10-point deduction for breaching financial rules.

Possible return date: Unknown
Casemiro sustained a hamstring injury in the recent EFL Cup defeat to Newcastle United, ruling the experienced midfielder out until at least Christmas.
