Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick hinted that Edinson Cavani ruled himself out of the Manchester derby, despite returning to training this week.
Cristiano Ronaldo had already been sidelined with what Rangnick described as a hip flexor problem, and the manager opted to start with a front three of Anthony Elanga, Jadon Sancho and Bruno Fernandes - leaving Marcus Rashford on the bench.
Cavani has been out of action for close to a month, with his last minutes in a United shirt coming in the draw against Burnley on February 8.
