Henderson, 23, has excelled on loan at Sheffield United but is understood to be frustrated about his prospects as second choice to David de Gea.

Eric Bailly sidelined for three to four weeks with muscle injury in blow to Man United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ahead of tough run of games against Chelsea, RB Leipzig and Arsenal

* Defender Eric Bailly will be ruled out until the international break in November
* Bailly is set to miss a tough run of games in the Premier League and Europe
* He didn't make the trip to France for Tuesday night's victory over PSG
* Solskjaer fielded Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw and Axel Tuanzebe in Paris

Eric Bailly will be sidelined for the next three to four weeks with a muscle injury in a blow to Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The Ivorian centre-back didn't make the trip to France for United's 2-1 Champions League victory over Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night, having been an unused substitute in Saturday's 4-1 win at Newcastle United.

Speaking after the win over PSG, Solskjaer confirmed he doesn't expect Bailly to feature again before next month's international break.

It means Bailly will miss upcoming fixtures against Chelsea, RB Leipzig, Arsenal, Istanbul Basaksehir and Everton in a packed schedule of Premier League and Champions League games.

It is just the latest injury setback for the 26-year-old, who has been sidelined for more than 300 days with knee and ankle problems since signing for United from Villarreal in 2016.

Captain and fellow central defender Harry Maguire also didn't make the trip to Paris but is expected to return for the Chelsea game at Old Trafford on Saturday evening.

Solskjaer went with three central defenders at the Parc des Princes with Victor Lindelof and Axel Tuanzebe paired with Luke Shaw.


Eric Bailly will be sidelined for three to four weeks with a muscle injury in a blow to Man United. The Ivorian defender has made four appearances, including three starts, for United this season. The news comes as a blow to United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ahead of testing fixtures. Bailly's one Premier League start this season came in the 6-1 thrashing by Tottenham Hotspur

United produced a fine performance to win their Champions League opener 2-1 with goals from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford.

Bailly has played four times for United so far this season. He made a substitute appearance in the final stages of the opening-weekend defeat by Crystal Palace before starting the two Carabao Cup games against Luton Town and Brighton in September.

With Lindelof struggling, Bailly replaced him to partner Maguire for the 6-1 defeat by Tottenham on October 4.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirms TRIPLE injury blow in Manchester United's win at Everton as Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof limp off the Goodison Park pitch on Saturday

* Manchester United beat Everton 3-1 on Saturday after three games without a win
* Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Edinson Cavani scored for the Red Devils
* Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said Rashford, Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof have injuries
* There is also concern for goalkeeper David De Gea who has a groin problem

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer revealed Manchester United suffered three injury setbacks involving Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof during their 3-1 win at Everton.

The Red Devils came from behind at Goodison Park on Saturday lunchtime thanks to first-half goals from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford after Bernard had put the Toffees in front early on.

Edinson Cavani netted his first goal for the club in the 95th minute to seal the points but Solskjaer has revealed there is bitter news to come from their first victory in three matches in all competitions, including some concern for David De Gea.

When asked if there were any injuries at Everton, Solskjaer told MUTV: 'Yes. Victor's back, Marcus's shoulder, Luke Shaw's hamstring. That's three I can remember from the top of my head.

'I hope everyone else is okay. David didn't play [in midweek] but he had a groin problem before the game.'

Both Lindelof and Rashford lasted the full 90 minutes in Merseyside on Saturday, but Shaw had to be withdrawn by Solskjaer after 67 minutes for Axel Tuanzebe due to the hamstring problem.

In his post-match interview with BT Sport, Solskjaer slammed the 'football authorities' for the lack of rest time given to the club following their Champions League game in midweek.

United were beaten 2-1 by Istanbul Basaksehir on Wednesday night and did not get back home until four o'clock in the morning on Thursday. Solskjaer was furious that his side were forced to play at Everton just over 48 hours after their return.

'Our boys were set up to fail today with the scheduling,' he raged. 'How can you expect players to perform with the 12.30 kick off time? It's an absolute joke.

'Of course we tried to move this game. What sense was there playing Saturday lunchtime when we could play Sunday because of the international break afterwards.

'I pushed my club to really fight on this one to give us half a chance. But it was just quashed and we were told "No, it's been selected".'

The Manchester United boss, who is under intense pressure at Old Trafford after a slow start to the Premier League season, pointed as the large amount of injuries felt by the clubs since the start of the campaign in September.

Solskjaer added: 'There have been too many serious injuries in the Premier League this season that can be from physical or mental fatigue.

'We want this product to be the best in the world. We don't want it to harm any player. These are difficult times for everyone, not just football, and we need to look after everyone.

'Use common sense, and sort out the schedule. This is such a serious issue, that we don't look after these players. They are not robots, they are human beings.'

Luke Shaw's injury leaves Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seeing red after he vented his anger at the congested fixture list, with Manchester United defender facing a month out

* Man United are furious after Luke Shaw was ruled out for a month with injury
* United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has vented his frustration over the schedule
* He felt his side were forced to play too soon after their Champions League clash
* United played Everton on Saturday after arriving home on Thursday morning
* Shaw will now be sidelined along with both Marcus Rashford and Victor Lindelof

Manchester United are furious after Luke Shaw was ruled out for a month with the hamstring injury he suffered at Everton last weekend.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer vented his frustration over the fixture schedule after United were given a lunchtime kick-off at Goodison Park on Saturday having only arrived back from a Champions League game in Istanbul in the early hours of Thursday morning.

And Solskjaer's anger was compounded when United confirmed that Shaw will be sidelined for four weeks after he was injured along with Marcus Rashford and Victor Lindelof in the 3-1 win.

The 25-year-old defender, who has started every Premier League and Champions League match for United this season, is now set to miss games against West Brom, Southampton and West Ham, as well as all three remaining Group H fixtures against Istanbul Basaksehir, Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig.

Solskjaer revealed at the weekend that United tried unsuccessfully to move the Everton game to ease the burden on his team.

'How can you expect players to perform to the best of their ability when you send them out at 12.30pm? Absolute joke,' he said.

'A month ago we tried to move this game. What sense is there for us to play on a Saturday when we could play on the Sunday and there is an international break afterwards?


United's Marcus Rashford and Victor Lindelof have also been sidelined due to injuries

'I can't say enough how hard these times are for everyone, not just footballers, and we want to see football with quality.

'Our players were set up to fail today with the schedule. I pushed my club to really fight the kick-off time on this one to give us at least half a chance, but it was quashed.'

New signing Alex Telles, who has been in quarantine following a positive Covid test, will be available to replace Shaw at left back after the international break and United can also call on Brandon Williams.

Rashford sustained a shoulder injury, but should be fit to play for England when the Nations League resumes this weekend. Lindelof also aggravated a back problem.

Manchester United facing nervous wait over Alex Telles as they say he HASN'T necessarily contracted Covid again despite testing positive for a second time - with Luke Shaw already out injured

* Manchester United will assess Alex Telles upon his return to England this week
* Reports in Brazil suggest the new signing has tested positive for Covid-19 again
* However, United say he has not necessarily contracted the virus a second time
* Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is in need of a fit left back after the injury of Luke Shaw

Manchester United will assess Alex Telles upon his return to England after reports in Brazil suggested the new signing has tested positive for coronavirus for a second time.

The 27-year-old was sidelined in October after contracting the virus shortly after his arrival from Porto, and missed four games as a result.

Telles' only appearance for the club came in the 2-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain last month in the Champions League.

And United have sought to clarify Telles' health status after reports in Brazil suggested the full back had tested positive for the disease while away on international duty.

The Red Devils have said in an official statement that Telles' positive test does not necessarily mean he has contracted the virus again, as the defender looks set to miss Brazil's clash with Uruguay on Tuesday night.

The club's medical staff are monitoring the situation closely, and will make an assessment of the 27-year-old when he returns to the Aon Training Complex later this week.


However United have said that Telles has not necessarily contracted the virus again. Ole Gunnar Solksjaer will hope Telles is available ahead of a busy run of fixtures after the break

Telles' absence would prove a blow to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, whose squad had been hit by injuries before the international break.

Left back Luke Shaw picked up a knock in the 3-1 win over Everton at Goodison Park, while Marcus Rashford appeared to hurt his back during the victory.

Solskjaer bemoaned the heavy fixture pile up and blasted football authorities for what he deemed as unfair scheduling, saying his side had been 'set up to fail' as a result.

'They set up the boys to fail,' the United boss said after the much-needed win. 'We have got Luke Shaw injured because we have played loads of games this season already, been to Turkey on Wednesday, got back at 4am on Thursday and we are playing a lunchtime kick-off on Saturday.

'It is an absolute shambles and I cannot praise the boys enough for the character they have shown. That is all I want to talk about. Those boys deserve better than being thrown out here to fail today. The authorities set us up to fail.'

United host West Bromwich Albion on Saturday before taking on Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League next Tuesday.

* Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be without injured Luke Shaw at left back at weekend

Manchester United hope to have Alex Telles available against West Brom this weekend after the Brazil defender was cleared to face Uruguay on Tuesday night following another Covid scare.

United's new £13.6million signing has missed the last five games since making his debut against Paris Saint-Germain a month ago after contracting coronavirus.

Reports in Brazil claimed that Telles had tested positive again, but he was allowed to rejoin the squad for Tuesday night's World Cup qualifier in Montevideo following a negative result.
