Liverpool vs Manchester United team news: Red Devils confirm Eric Bailly and Marcus Rashford were injured on international duty

MANCHESTER UNITED have confirmed Eric Bailly and Marcus Rashford were injured on international duty.

England ace Rashford picked up a knock but makes the bench while Ivory Coast defender Bailly misses out completely.

United can go 10 points clear of bitter rivals Liverpool with victory at Anfield.

Boss Jose Mourinho said: "I don’t think we have many options. Fellaini was injured with the national team, Bailly was injured with the national team and Rashford was injured with the national team.

"I never complain about that. I was just mentioning it to you because the next question is maybe why is Rashford not playing? Why is Bailly not even on the bench?

"But, okay, since the moment we know the players we have available, we thought about the match and we thought about our options and we made these decisions."
