Anel Ahmedhodzic and Ollie Norwood both went into this afternoon’s clash at West Bromwich Albion on the brink of a ban, after collecting four yellow cards so far this season.

That opens the door for Jack Robinson to step in, the defender returning to the squad recently following a knee injury.

United also lost Rhian Brewster to injury at The Hawthorns, not long after coming on as a substitute. He went down clutching the back of his leg, with United looking like suffering another hamstring injury, while George Baldock was also replaced during the game.
