Judging by EtH's comments in the presser today we might have a bit more depth for this one. McTominay is expected to join team training before the Leicester game and Antony after the weekend.
Manchester United vs Saudi Atletico Arabia | Carabao Cup Final Build-up Thread (Sun 26 Feb) | Pope suspended, Dubravka cup-tied

At least that cnut Stuart Atwell isn't involved
Can’t wait. Wer gonna crush em
Would it perhaps not be advisable to change the title of this thread? Today I read that Saudi Arabia are posed to make a bid for Manchester United, consequently this 'dig' at Newcastle could be seen as somewhat hypocritical in the overall scheme of things.

If this were the matchup for a future final, it might be well be Saudi-Athletico-Arabia vs Mecca-United-Arabia.

Well, not yet.
Because if the club do end up owned by an oil rich country, be it Saudi Arabia or Qatar, making a joke like the one in this thread title or indeed making sarcastic attacks on PSG, Mcfc or NUFC will just end up putting egg onto your faces.
If that happens then we can ask @Samid to retrospectively go back and make the necessary adjustments.
To change it now based on rumours would be factually incorrect though and misleading as I’m sure you would agree.
It would be like Arsenal fans complaining about oil money whilst being sponsored by Emirates and having sold their stadium rights off for the privilege.
I really want this. Perhaps even more than knocking Barca out. The momentum we’d get is worth it…
Pope suspended
No Pope 
Dubravka is their backup and cup tied too
It’s all falling into place for usKarius in goal for the final 
Karius to play?
Newcastle going into the final in not the greatest of forms. After so many clean sheets they've started to concede again. A lot of pressure on their Bruno to turn things around next Sunday.
Is it confirmed that the ban applies to the final? Happy days, Dubravka also not eligible. Karius it is!

Karl Darlow I'd imagine
Dubravka out as well?
Karius is their 3rd choice
He'll turn into prime Van Der Sar
He'll turn into prime Van Der Sar
He's at Hull. Either gonna be Karius or Gillespie - most likely Karius
On loan at Hull?
Pope suspended and Dubravka cup tied fecking huge for us. Guimaraes hasn't played in weeks, will be fresh physically but hard to get into the rhythm and not sharp we hope. Their confidence fully shattered after today hopefully.

Newcastle had actually started pretty well - hopefully their confidence takes an absolute slamming.
Phil Jones did it better...hilarious
Karius in the Cup final
Karius with an absolute world class performance against us.
Is Dubravka cup tied ?
Dubravka cup tied too??
Pity Dubravka can't play. He looked terrible when he played for us
Whoever it is will have the game of their life against us.
Apparently so as he played for us in the competition earlier this season
Sky don’t even knowApparently so as he played for us in the competition earlier this season
Karius
Longest thread title ever.... ffs.
Maybe you can fit in "former Liverpool FC goalkeeper Loris Karius might play on sunday"

Karius
makes me weirdly nervous
Still feel it's crazy we play twice before the final after Newcastle play today.
