Erik ten Hag explains why Luke Shaw and Scott McTominay are missing for Man United vs Reading

Erik ten Hag has revealed Luke Shaw is still suffering from illness while Scott McTominay is unavailable to face Reading due to a minor injury.

Manchester United come up against Paul Ince's Royals in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday night as they look to have another successful outing in a cup competition following the 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Wednesday. Ten Hag has named a strong side to face the Championship mid-table-dwellers with only one change to his starting XI.

Jadon Sancho is not involved after the Dutchman hinted the winger could make his long-awaited return to action. Shaw and McTominay are also missing but their absences have been explained.
