Manchester United make their return to action following the mid-season break with the visit of Middlesbrough for the fourth round of the FA Cup on Friday night.
Ralf Rangnick's side waited until the dying embers to see off West Ham United in their last Premier League battle, with Marcus Rashford's injury-time winner settling the contest.
The Red Devils also had to rely on a 1-0 scoreline to beat Aston Villa in the third round of the FA Cup thanks to Scott McTominay's strike, but Rangnick will expect to welcome several players back for the fourth round.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Man United's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.

Paul Pogba

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Thigh
Possible return date: February 4 (vs. Middlesbrough)

Paul Pogba is closing in on a return from a serious thigh injury and will definitely return at some point this month, but the visit of Boro may come slightly too soon for the Frenchman.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Illness
Possible return date: February 4 (vs. Middlesbrough)


Aaron Wan-Bissaka was struggling with an illness before the international break, but Rangnick hopes to have the right-back at his disposal for Friday's contest.



Jadon Sancho
Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Personal
Possible return date: February 4 (vs. Middlesbrough)



Jadon Sancho suffered a recent bereavement and was not involved in the recent win over West Ham, but the former Borussia Dortmund man could return here.


Luke Shaw
Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: February 4 (vs. Middlesbrough)



Luke Shaw picked up a hamstring injury before the win over Brentford on January 19, and while his issue is not thought to be too serious, he has still emerged as a major doubt for this one.



Victor Lindelof
Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Personal
Possible return date: February 4 (vs. Middlesbrough)

Victor Lindelof's house was broken into with his family present during Man United's win over Brentford last month - the Swedish centre-back did not feature against West Ham but will expect to return to the squad here.



MAN UNITED'S SUSPENSION LIST

Mason Greenwood
Possible return date: Unknown
Mason Greenwood remains in custody after being arrested on suspicion of rape and assault, and the 20-year-old has been suspended by the club until further notice.

PAUL POGBA IS BACK and according to rangnick he might even start, Alex telles just arrived from Brazil last night while Edinson cavani is on international duties with Uruguay, Jesse lingard was given time clear out his head upon his request and lastly Mason greenwood who has been frozen out of the team till further notice

I believe this tie will end 3-1 in favour of Manchester united, predictions
