TEAM NEWS UPDATE FOR UNITED V SWANSEA Jose Mourinho has provided a detailed update on the fitness and availability of a number of key players as the Manchester United boss juggles injury and suspension issues. The Reds manager spoke to the press after Thursday's goalless draw at Manchester City and confirmed that Tim Fosu-Mensah has joined the injury list, while Marouane Fellaini will now miss the next three games following his derby dismissal. There was some better news for the Reds when Mourinho confirmed that Juan Mata is edging closer to a return and Paul Pogba is likely to be back for the trip to Celta Vigo next Thursday. Mourinho also discussed the possibility of Wayne Rooney playing in midfield against Swansea at Old Trafford, saying: "It's an option. We have Herrera and Carrick and nothing else. Tim is another one that we miss so we are in trouble but we will fight that’s for sure. "I think the first one to be back is Mata, which gives us another option in attack but, in reality, what we need now is one of the two central defenders to be back." The boss was asked about the possibility of resting the in-form Eric Bailly for Sunday's match and giving a run-out to promising young defender Axel Tuanzebe . Such is United's lack of central defenders at present, the manager joked he might even play himself! "I am also training hard in the gym so I can be an option also – Mourinho and Tuanzebe against Swansea! "In this moment, Eric is the only option we have – it’s Axel, Eric and Daley [Blind]. I think Eric and Daley played again absolutely amazing [against City]. I have to speak with them and see how they are and see how they feel." United's lack of options through injury and suspension in midfield led to reporters questioning Mourinho about whether or not it was a mistake to let Morgan Schneiderlin and Bastian Schweinsteiger leave. "To have lots of players without playing is something the players don’t want," said the manager. "We didn’t tell Morgan we wanted to sell him. Morgan asked, 'Please sell me, I want to go. I want to play every game.' "Sometimes there is always this dilemma, to keep a bigger squad but the players don’t want to stay. Even young players, when they’re not playing, they ask to leave so it is very hard. "We’re arriving at an extreme situation where I think it must be unique in football with two cruciate ligament injuries in the same match. In my career, I had one player in 17 years [injuring his cruciate]. Now, against Anderlecht, I have two in one match and we are very unlucky, it’s the only thing we can say. "The other small injuries – Pogba and [Antonio] Valencia in the last week - are injuries due to fatigue and the accumulation of matches, which is normal." http://www.manutd.com/en/News-And-Features/Football-News/2017/Apr/team-news-for-manchester-united-v-swansea-city-sunday-30-april.aspx?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=ManUtd |

ChristineC: Even when Pogba clearly stated that he would favour a more attacking role? What's his best position sef? |

elrony: The fact is Moyes might soon go the way of Curbishley and become a TV pundit. He has lost whatever little ability he had. His 10yrs of mediocrity have been up for sometime. 1 Like |

AdisaOwala: That midfield that was dominated in a large chunk of our matches against top teams? We have practically packed the bus against City and Liverpool and were disgraced in 1 match against Chelsea. The major problem isn't JM, it is Ed who has waywardly spent hundreds of miliions of dollars in the last 3 years and we are still rebuilding. 4 Likes 1 Share |

afrodoc2: The game at anfield readily comes to mind.... Pogba played in a 3-man Midfield yet we were overun in the middle of the park.....only for some of us to still attribute our subdued performance at the etihad to Pogba's absence. afrodoc2: As usual, woodie would probably "announce" to the whole world that we have 500m to spend in the summer. The inevitable result would be that Spurs would slap a 200m price tag on Harry Kane, Bvb would ask for 150m for Aubameyang and at the end of the day, the squad would still remain unbalanced. #Weneedasportingdirector# |

AdisaOwala:we had one glorious chance against Liverpool at anfield that pogba created and Zlatan threw away. his clearly the creative hub of our team,i don't think say na stretch to say,our performance go better if our best midfielder played. |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 10:44am On Apr 30, 2017 |
AdisaOwala:Didn't want to say anything about this. We will still be outplayed in the midfield with Pogba and knowing who Jose is, Carrick will be the one to sit out and not Fellaini. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SIRcumalot: 10:53am On Apr 30, 2017 |
eph12:pogba has an argument based on how indispensable to the team he has been so far. either of the two is fine by me. |

That headmaster called llorente and sigurddson can score some goals. Fellaini would have been very important for our set piece defending today. |

eph12:Someone said Herrera is just average. what do you think? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 11:20am On Apr 30, 2017 |
SIRcumalot:Indispensable? Still trying to understand what this means though. Well he has played almost all matches when fit maybe that's why you say indispensable. Me thinks it's for lack of better option. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 11:23am On Apr 30, 2017 |
SIRcumalot:We stole something from that game didn't we? If you're talking about winning, there's absolutely no proof of that. |
