Major doubt over U’s keeper

The 23-year-old hasn’t played since hobbling through the second round replay victory over Harrogate Town on December 13 with a knee injury sustained in the original meeting between the clubs 12 days previously.

Speaking at the press conference on Wednesday evening, United player-manager Sean Ray said: “Matt’s doubtful for Saturday. We probably won’t know until Friday; we’re going to give Matt all the time he needs.”
