However, he will probably start on Sunday after United’s successful appeal against an unfair dismissal. Last week, Mason Mount made his comeback from a hamstring injury, replacing Kobbie Mainoo off the bench in the Spurs game.
Erik ten Hag said that the former Chelsea player had also had a different injury when he was removed off the field in the second half following a head-on collision with Radu Dragusin.
Mount was not part of the squad that took on Porto on Thursday night and remains a doubt for this weekend.
Mainoo meanwhile did make the trip to Portugal but did not make the matchday squad. It is hoped he will be available against Villa.
Ten Hag hopes to have him available after October’s international break but there is still no specific timeline in place for his return with long-term absentee Tyrell Malacia also still working his way back to full fitness.
Summer signing Leny Yoro also remains unavailable for the French sensation not expected to return until November at the earliest.

How United could line up this weekend…
Marcus Rashford opened the scoring in Portugal but was hooked at half-time. Ten Hag confirmed post-match the change was made with rotation in mind rather than an injury, suggesting the England international will be in line to start on Sunday.
