Rangnick confirms Maguire misses out on Chelsea clash due to knee injury

Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick has spoken out ahead of Chelsea Premier League clash and confirms that the club captain will miss the game. 

Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick has opened up ahead of Thurday's Premier League clash with Chelsea at Old Trafford. The Red Devils go into the game on a low after a 3-1 defeat to Arsenal last time out. And they'll be hoping to put their rivals to the sword as they push to qualify for next season's Champions League. 

Speaking ahead of United’s match with Chelsea, Rangnick has confirmed six players will miss the showdown.

Club captain Harry Maguire is among them, having been benched for the Arsenal defeat.

And Rangnick has confirmed Paul Pogba, Fred, Edinson Cavani, Luke Shaw and Jadon Sancho will also be absent as the end of the campaign edges closer. 

That’s a hammer blow to United as they seek a return to winning ways.

And how they fare without the quintet in their squad remains to be seen, having drawn 1-1 in the same fixture at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season.
