Mourinho Sweating Over The Fitness of Marcus Rashford and Ander Herrera

Manchester United are sweating over the fitness of Marcus Rashford and Ander Herrera ahead of their crucial clash against Tottenham Hotspur next Saturday.

The Reds Devils will look to bounce back from their 2-1 loss to Huddersfield last weekend when they come against Mauricio Pochettino on Saturday.

The duo of Rashford and Herrera were part of the side that defeated Swansea City, 2-0 in the League Cup on Tuesday night and had to be taken off as a precaution but United will have to hope both are fit in time for their clash with Spurs.

Marcus Rashford who impressed during the game against the Swans was withdrawn due to a tightness in his hamstring and Herrera also got a knock on his ankle.

The Red Devils will welcome Tottenham Hotspur in an early kick-off on Saturday but will have to be without a number of senior players with the likes of  Paul Pogba, Michael Carrick and Marouane Fellaini already on the sidelines.

However, it is understood that Jose Mourinho will have to wait till Friday afternoon to decide who will play for in the middle of the park with Nemanja Matic against a rampaging Spurs attack.

In related news, Phil Jones is said to be fit for the game against Tottenham and could be deployed in the middle of the park with Ivorien defender, Eric Bailly also set to return from the injury.
