Harry Maguire has been in training at Carrington, easing concerns about a knock he looked to have picked up in the draw with West Ham.
Head coach Carrick suggested before that game that recent absentee Mason Mount could be back from injury in time for the trip to Everton.
Defender Matthijs de Ligt hasn’t been ruled out either, but Mount is believed to be closer to a return than the Dutch defender, who is yet to play in 2026. Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu, meanwhile, is expected to remain sidelined.
For Everton, Jake O’Brien will be suspended after picking up a red card in the Toffees’ last outing, a 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth on the same night as United’s draw with the Hammers.
On-loan Manchester City winger Jack Grealish won’t play either, after confirming earlier this month that he is out for the season after undergoing surgery on a foot issue. Centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite is fit again though, after regaining his fitness following an operation of his own, on his hamstring.
