Manchester United is unable to call on Nemanja Matic for their US round.

José Mourinho is already deprived of a host of stars from the first team because of his World Cup commitments and suffered other setbacks.

Antonio Valencia left his home due to a calf injury while Anthony Martial also left the circuit with his partner to give birth.

And United are now without the services of midfielder Matic.

The Serbian only joined the team this week because of his involvement at the World Cup and participated in an individual training session on Tuesday.

Matic is a major doubt for the clash with Liverpool on Sunday and it remains to be seen how long he will be on the sidelines.

"What is important to me is the group of players that we have – and who has already lost Valencia and Matic – even worse to play against the best team in Milan and play as we l & # 39; We did, it was I think it was fine, "Mourinho told MUTV.

United will be spurred by the summer arrivals of Fred and David De Gea in the United States after a few days off.

Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku, Jesse Lingard, Phil Jones and Marcus Rashford are still on vacation, but Ashley Young was in a hurry to pause his break due to a defensive crisis.
