Four united players that may miss Watford clash

Manchester United will be hoping to get back to winning ways in the league after the international break.

The Old Trafford giant may have to do this without the services of some key members of the squad.

Midfielder Michael Carrick was an injury casualty for the English national team in England's first friendly against Spain. The Spaniards won 2-0.

Unconfirmed reports have it that the 34 year old may be out of the team till December.

Another player who sustained injury while on international duty was striker Anthony Martial. The striker suffered a knock in the friendly against England at Wembley, and had to leave the stadium with crutches and bandages on his left leg.

While the full scale of his injury is not yet known, the striker will most likely sit out  this weekend league fixture.

There are also concerns about the availability of defender Cris Smalling and midfielder Maroune Fellaini.

The in-form United defender missed the Three Lions  friendly against France with a knock. Though he has a good chance of making the game.
Belgian midfielder Fellaini missed Belgium's friendlies due to injury and may be back.

But with Van Gaal's strict physical fitness requirement, it remains to be seen if any of the two would make the team for the weekend clash.

On the longer phase, defender Luke Shaw and winger Antonio Valencia are expected to be out for months.
