The Red Devils confirmed that the midfielder's absence follows a "small complaint" sustained in the previous weekend's 2-0 loss to Tottenham.
“We are prepared well; we are fully in control so if there are transfers, we need to keep the squad competitive because it will be a tough season with many games to cover.
“In many positions you need double and in the goalkeeping position we need three really good goalkeepers who can all keep the Premier League standard so we will cover that.”
This summer, United has added Rasmus Hojlund, Mason Mount, and Andre Onana to their squad.
They are still in the transfer market for new players as they look to bring more competition to the team.
