Manchester United will be without Harry maguire versus Everton after the England defender was ruled out for several weeks due to a calf problem.
Maguire missed Gareth Southgate’s England squad due to injury, while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer also expressed worries about Luke Shaw’s fitness, who missed the weekend win over Villarreal.
The visitors will likely travel to Old Trafford without their own key players, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Seamus Coleman and Richarlison all seemingly unlikely to feature after failing to train with the squad on Thursday.

Team news
The physical form of two defenders may require two modifications for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Maguire was ruled out for several weeks after suffering a calf injury, while Luke Shaw missed his midweek action after facing Aston Villa.
Shaw might be able to regain his place at left-back, with Victor Lindelof likely to find Raphael Varane at the heart of the defense. Marcus Rashford is expected to return from his injury layoff after the international break.
Everton will likely continue to do without Seamus Coleman and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, although the duo returned to individual training this week. Richarlison remains out, while Andre Gomes also failed to train after missing last weekend’s win over Norwich.
Midfielder Jean-Philippe Gbamin has had a scorching spell with injuries since moving to Merseyside in 2019 but is closing in on a comeback.
