Manchester United are concerned about injuries to Luke Shaw and Antony ahead of Sunday’s Premier League game against Fulham.
The Reds prepare to meet the Cottagers on Sunday at 4:30 p.m. French time for the final game of the season. Third place is still in play, with United currently two points clear of Newcastle United, who travel to Chelsea this weekend.
Erik ten Hag admitted after his side’s 4-1 win over Chelsea that Antony appeared to be suffering from a serious injury after being forced off the pitch on a stretcher in the first half following an attack by Trevoh Chalobah.
Marcus Rashford came on in his place, after an injury and illness stoppage, and scored his 30th goal of the season for United.

Layvin Kurzawa could also be back, but defender Tim Ream is definitely out.
