Carrick said Matheus Cunha is hopeful to return, while Luke Shaw remains uncertain and Matthijs de Ligt will miss the match.

  • On Friday, Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick confirmed Matheus Cunha remains hopeful to face Liverpool on Sunday, though Matthijs de Ligt will not be involved in the match.
  • United requires two points to secure a Champions League berth, with this fixture marking the 218th meeting between these historic rivals in a congested qualification race.
  • While Cunha returned to light training following a hip flexor injury, Carrick remained uncertain if Luke Shaw will recover in time to feature after picking up a knock against Brentford.
  • Lisandro Martinez serves the final match of a three-game suspension this weekend, leaving Carrick to manage squad depth as United pursues a first league double over Liverpool in a decade.
