Dorgu Returns as United Remain without Rashford and Shaw
Patrick Dorgu returned to Manchester United training on Monday at Carrington after a month-long hamstring injury, though head coach Michael Carrick confirmed the 22-year-old will not feature in Tuesday's Champions League match against Roma.
Carrick faces pressure as the Red Devils endure a winless streak, leaving them 17th in the Premier League, with the board planning to assess the 45-year-old's position during the November international break.
Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford remain sidelined, forcing Carrick to use Diogo Dalot in a makeshift left-back role during Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Chelsea, while Benjamin Sesko and Manuel Ugarte continue as long-term absentees.
Tuesday's Champions League match against Roma offers a chance to snap the winless run, as Lisandro Martinez returned to training two days after his red card at Stamford Bridge.
Hosting Aston Villa on Sunday marks the team's final fixture before the international break, with United seeking their first victory since defeating Sabah 4-0 in a Champions League home match 53 days ago.
The Giallorossi come to this round in 15th place, with 4 points, a win, a draw and a defeat, and a net difference of +3. Success came in the last round, with 4-0 at Slovan Bratislava
