MANCHESTER UNITED could be forced to field a misfit XI against Tottenham with ELEVEN first-team stars out injured.
Amad Diallo became the latest big name to find himself sidelined after suffering an ankle ligament injury.
The winger is now expected to miss the rest of the season.
And he’s not the only big name who will not feature in north London on Sunday.
United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is recovering from a muscle strain.
While fellow holders Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collyer are both major doubts as United look to avoid a third defeat to Spurs this season.

Man Utd injuries for Spurs clash
11 stars set to miss out:
- Lisandro Martinez
- Kobbie Mainoo
- Amad Diallo
- Manuel Ugarte
- Toby Collyer
- Altay Bayindir
- Jonny Evans
- Victor Lindelof
- Tom Heaton
- Mason Mount
Elsewhere, Mason Mount remains out along with goalies Tom Heaton and Altay Bayindir.
While defenders Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof will play no part tomorrow either.
It means boss Ruben Amorim has been left with a small amount of options against Spurs.
Andre Onana will start between the sticks, with a three-man defence of Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui a possibly combination.

Diogo Dalot and Patrick Dorgu could start as the wing-backs, although it remains to be seen which flank they’ll be on.
In midfield, Amorim may have no choice but to turn to veterans Casemiro and Christian Eriksen.
While in attack, captain Bruno Fernandes could get the nod alongside Alejandro Garnacho and Joshua Zirkzee.
There are several other options for Amorim to choose from though.
Harry Maguire and Rasmus Hojlund will also be pushing for starts.
While teen goal sensation Chido Obi could get a go after impressing for United’s youth sides.
He is one of five kids to travel with the seniors to London.
Sekou Kone, Harry Amass, Jack Moorhouse and Elyh Harrison could yet play some part on Sunday.
But with Spurs set to welcome as many as six senior players back from injury, including Guglielmo Vicario and James Maddison, Amorim is likely to favour the few senior options available to him.
