Odion Ighalo has been tipped to lead Manchester United’s attack in their crunchy Champions League tie against RB Leipzig in Germany on Tuesday.
Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial have given a Manchester United injury headache to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ahead of the Champions League tie away to Bundesliga team RB Leipzig, the Manchester United manager confirmed.
It is a very tight in Group H although Manchester United only need one point to secure safe passage to the last 16.
Manchester United sit top of the group with a superior goal difference compared to their opponents on Tuesday night and Paris Saint-Germain.
All three teams sit on nine points so this Manchester United injury blow will set nerves jangling.
Missing two key players is not good news for Solskjaer but better news exists with both David de Gea, who missed the win over West Ham United, and Luke Shaw returning to the squad.
Despite a point being all Manchester United need to progress, complacency must be avoided.
A defeat would see them drop to third place and enter the Europa League.
Boss Solskjaer feels his team are showing real character right now.
He said: “The character of the group is getting better and better and we’re looking forward to the game.
“It’s something that we want, games like this.
“It’s a tradition for Man United, we never make it easy for ourselves.”
