Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnick fears Jadon Sancho could miss the rest of the season due to tonsillitis.
The England international was absent from the matchday squad for Thursday night’s 1-1 draw
with Chelsea and will not return when United face Brentford on Monday.
“As it seems, Jadon might be out for the rest of the season with his tonsillitis so he will most likely be not available against Brentford,” Rangnick said.
“Since the last game is another three weeks to go against Crystal Palace, but for the next two games I think it is unlikely.
“He definitely has an inflammation on his tonsils and has also had some high temperatures,
that’s why he was not available for Chelsea and he almost certainly won’t be available for the next couple of games.

”So, hopefully, they can get hold of that inflammation and if the tonsils have to be taken out and removed, this can happen at the end of the season.”
Harry Maguire, Paul Pogba and Luke Shaw are expected to remain out,
while there remain fitness doubts over Edinson Cavani and Aaron Wan-Bissaka but better news for the Reds is that Fred is expected to be fit to return in midfield.
Man United predicted XI:
De Gea;
Dalot, Varane, Lindelof, Telles;
Fred, McTominay, Fernandes;
Elanga, Rashford, Ronaldo
