Now, however, they will be looking to build some momentum after a much-needed win.

As such, it could hand Carrick a more natural option at left-back, with Diogo Dalot filling in in that position in recent games.

“Carlos we don’t know exactly [the severity], but it’ll be a number of weeks yet,” Carrick said of the midfielder in Friday's pre-match press conference.

“Definitely not this week and not over the international break, it will be a little bit longer yet.”

Kobbie Mainoo is likely to retain his place and potentially alongside Youri Tielemans - against his former club - behind captain Bruno Fernandes in the No10 role.

Predicted Manchester United XI (4-2-3-1): Lammens; Yoro, Maguire, Heaven, Dalot; Tielemans, Mainoo; Lacey, Fernandes, Cunha; Mbuemo
