“Fred is unfortunately not yet available [for the Man United vs Chelsea game],” Rangnick said.

“He tried to train yesterday but after training, I had a long conversation with him and he just told me that he does not feel fully fit. I don’t think it makes sense, with the muscular injury that he had, to play him too early, So he won’t be available, unfortunately, tomorrow.

“And apart from that, we’ve Harry Maguire who isn’t available. He has some issues with his knee, not a big thing – some niggle in his knee. He has not been training, neither yesterday nor today.

“Paul obviously, Fred, Edinson, Luke Shaw and Jadon – Jadon is ill, he has had tonsillitis since yesterday, could not train today and will also not be available tomorrow.”

The kick-off time for Man United vs Chelsea is 7.45 pm.

Speaking on his BBC podcast, Rooney said, “I think, for me, Luke Shaw. I think Luke Shaw has been the most improved player this season.

“I know he is an experienced player now, but I think his level this season has been much better than it has been in recent seasons.

“People might look at Kobbie Mainoo but I don’t think he’s improved. It was just the fact he wasn’t playing under the former manager so it wasn’t good or bad.”

Shaw enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons at Man United and started all of Man United’s Premier League games.
