The Red Devils could be without eight players for the game, including Alexis Sanchez and Marouane Fellaini.
Jose Mourinho will be desperate to get back to winning ways following a tough 1-0 Champions League defeat against Juventus during midweek.
Sanchez, Fellaini, Marcos Rojo and Diogo Dalot have been ruled out of the clash, with several more stars looking doubtful to feature.
Jesse Lingard, Scott McTominay and Phil Jones are close to returning but the Everton game appears to be too soon.
Antonio Valencia is the most likely player to make a comeback from injury and looks set to replace Ashley Young at right-back.
Romelu Lukaku will lead the line against his former club though Mourinho has revealed doubts about his star striker.
He said: “One day will be the game and one day he will score and one day his confidence levels will be back to normal, which clearly they are not, but I always feel that.
“Against Juventus, I couldn’t give him a break, I don’t think Carrick can play as a striker, so against Juventus we played with the players that we did."
Chris Smalling and Victor Lindelof are set to start in defence with Nemanja Matic and Paul Pogba likely to be joined by Ander Herrera.
(4-3-3) De Gea; Valencia, Smalling, Lindelof, Shaw; Herrera, Matic, Pogba; Rashford, Lukaku, Martial.
Quick, name the ethnicity that has the biggest drug problem among its teens.
No not them. No, not them either. Oh stop it, you stereotypers.
A study just published in this month's Archives of General Psychiatry found that African America, Asian and even Latino kids were outranked by ... white kids when it comes to drug or alcohol use.
The research pulls its numbers from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health vintages 2005 through 2008 (so who knows what teens are into this year).
Still, there are some alarming figures. Thirty-seven percent of all the teens in the study said they had tried alcohol or drugs in the last year.
One-quarter of the young pot users "met criteria for marijuana abuse or dependence," according to the study.
The most popular illicit drug was pot, with more than one in ten teens (13 percent) saying they toked up in the last year.
And despite recent research that suggests the 16-state legalization of medical weed hasn't affected teen weed smoking, "marijuana use has been increasing [among teens] after a few years of decline," according to the researchers.
Maybe the Starbucks retail environment for pot in places like L.A. does have an effect?
OSLO (Reuters) - Norway announced on Friday that it was suspending new licenses for arms exports to Saudi Arabia following recent developments in the Gulf kingdom and the situation in Yemen.
A foreign ministry spokesman declined to say whether the decision was partly motivated by the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2.
“We have decided that in the present situation we will not give new licenses for the export of defence material or multipurpose goods for military use to Saudi Arabia,” Foreign Minister Ine Eriksen Soereide said in a statement.
Germany said last month that it would halt German arms exports to Saudi Arabia until the killing of Khashoggi was explained.
Norway’s announcement comes a week after its foreign minister summoned the Saudi ambassador to Oslo to protest Khashoggi’s assassination.
The decision (to suspend licences) was taken after “a broad assessment of recent developments in Saudi Arabia and the unclear situation in Yemen,” the foreign ministry said in its statement.
Saudi Arabia is leading a coalition of forces against Iran-aligned Houthi fighters in Yemen, in a conflict that has driven much of Yemen’s population to the brink of famine.
An action-hero ensemble like the one featured in "The Expendables" -- Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren and more, all in the same movie -- comes around once in a blue moon.
So it's safe to say that fans of the genre are probably looking forward to November 23 when the DVD and Blu-ray hits store shelves. To whet your appetite until then, we've got an exclusive clip from the high-def bonus features. In the video, we see how a gun-toting Sly Stallone organizes a complex fight scene. For fans of the iconic action hero, it's an interesting dissection of what goes through his mind when setting up intense hand-to-hand combat.
What do you think of the clip? Will you be buying "The Expendables" when it hits DVD?

Skitter (News - Alert) TV, a provider of converged media services over broadband and IP networks, recently announced that Dakota Carrier Network (DCN), a statewide fiber network serving multiple broadband service providers, has selected the company’s advanced digital video services platform to provide advanced TV services in North Dakota. The Skitter TV platform will now be available to DCN service providers, allowing them to provide a converged mix of TV programming for North Dakota TV subscribers.
The Skitter TV platform is designed to consolidate local broadcast channels with the growing number of cable programming channels and deliver them to the devices that customers demand. The solution looks to help video service providers address the growing trends of illegitimate access to TV programming such as ‘cord-cutting’ and ‘cord-shaving’.
DCN member companies currently serve more than 164,000 customers, providing voice, video and data services. Under this new agreement with Skitter TV, these subscribers will now have access to a wider range of TV programs, providing a wider choice for entertainment at a reduced cost.
According to Women's Wear Daily, French luxury house Louis Vuitton will start working on its debut scent early next year. Its "nose" will be none less than the third-generation perfumer Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud, who previously created Stella by Stella McCartney, Dior Addict, and Jean Paul Gaultier Classic, among many others. The trade paper reports that Cavallier-Belletrud "is said to be a specialist in using natural, raw materials," while Louis Vuitton "has recently been investigating rare, almost-extinct flowers in France."
This will be the debut perfume by the house of Louis Vuitton although the LVMH luxury group owns several fragrance brands including Guerlain, Kenzo and Dior.
Admittedly, such online applications aren't as powerful as those that come with "Microsoft" on the box (or even the free ones from OpenOffice)...yet. But they are handy when we're away from our primary computers and we need to access files, or when we're working with people spread across different time zones.
Google Docs can even send an e-mail alert if anyone has made changes to a file. Better yet, both Google and Zoho offer offline access. Download and install Google Gears, and you'll be able to open files you've created when a Net connection isn't available, and then sync them back up when you reconnect.
Want more? The Web is bursting with other collaborative apps, but most of them charge you for the privilege of using them. So far, Google Docs and Zoho Office are 100 percent free.
We can't afford to hire an administrative assistant, which is why we use Highrise. Nominally an online CRM tool, 37signals' clever Web app does nearly everything a personal secretary might do except go out for coffee and pick up our dry cleaning.
But Highrise is really more about organizing your work life and keeping you on track. You can create a "case" for each project, associate contacts with each case, add notes and upload documents, share the case with colleagues, and add tasks for each person to perform. Highrise is free for two users and up to 250 contacts; paid plans that allow multiple users to swap files, collaborate on cases, and share thousands of contacts range from $24 to $99 a month.
When we need full-on project management, we also use 37signals' Basecamp, which lets us create milestones, view them on a calendar, track successive versions of the same document, and do a whole lot more. You can manage one project with unlimited users for free; for multiple projects, prices start at $24 a month.
It was a happy day here at TynanWood when we finally ditched Microsoft Outlook for handling our schedules and went with Google Calendar.
We set up calendars for everyone in our organization (including our kids and their schools) and shared them; now we can view everyone's appointments in one screen by clicking a few boxes. Google sends alerts to my e-mail inbox and my cell phone when I'm about to miss an appointment, and even synchronizes with the calendar on my Windows Smart Phone (via a free third-party utility called GooSync).
The downside? Unlike Google Docs, the calendar service has no offline capability yet, so we can't access our schedules when we're flying or when the Net connection goes kablooey.
Fortunately, there's a groovy alternative in Scrybe, which lets you update your calendar even when you're offline, and then sync up when you reconnect. Scrybe offers some extremely cool-looking features, such as the ability to zoom in and out on particular days or time slots and produce miniature calendars on actual paper! The bad news: Like Google GrandCentral, Scrybe has closed its public beta for now, so you'll need to find a sympathetic Scrybe user to invite you.
These days, most of our meetings are virtual. And while plenty of tools can help you trot out a dog-and-pony show without leaving your desk, most of them cost more than we want to spend.
If you only occasionally need to meet and greet the outside world, FreeConference.com is a reasonable alternative. The standard free service lets you schedule phone briefings up to 4 hours long for as many as 150 of your closest friends. If you want to record the sessions, you'll need to pony up $9 a month; goodies such as a toll-free number or a dedicated bridge line cost 10 cents per user per minute. Want to do live demos or foist PowerPoint slides upon your audience? At press time, FreeConference was offering the SharePlus desktop-sharing beta for no charge--a price that's hard to beat.

Oracle has taken another step in building bridges to the open source community after relations came under strain following the acquisition of Sun Microsystems by donating the codebase for OpenOffice.org to the Apache Software Foundation.
Oracle, acquired OpenOffice.org through the purchase of Sun Microsystems and tried to sell a commercial version of the suite under the name Oracle Open Office title. It also announced plans to launch Oracle Cloud Office. Oracle's plans led to a clash with members of the OpenOffice.org community, some of whom broke off to form an offshoot project called LibreOffice and a related group, the Document Foundation.
Oracle scrapped its OpenOffice plans in April, claiming laack of interest from customers and has now made its peace with the LibreOffice developers by donating code back to the community.
Zero 7's last album, 2004's overly slick When It Falls, did nothing to help them shake their chillout label. It also sounded like a sequel to Simple Things, their 2001 debut. Time for a rethink. The Garden was recorded in the Somerset countryside, and Sam Hardaker and Henry Binns seem to have harnessed the sunshine for this playful, warm and inspired set. Their production still sounds unfussed, richly detailed and beautifully executed, but there are some unpredictable twists this time around. Futures begins with a gently strummed acoustic guitar and the lilting voice of Swedish-born folkie José González, but ends sounding like Underworld. The Pageant of the Bizarre is a jaunty fairground ride that concludes with a shift into Beach Boys-style harmonising. As well as bringing in González, they have wisely kept Sia Furler in the fold - a vocal acrobat who can somersault through styles. Binns himself joins her on This Fine Social Scene, which sounds like a cross between Shuggie Otis and Steely Dan.
Nickelodeon announces an upcoming Rugrats TV show reboot from the original series creators along with a live-action movie releasing in 2020.
Ren and Stimpy are unlikely to appear appear in Jared Hess's planned big-screen NickToons movie, according to co-creator Bob Camp.
Funko announces a lineup of figures from some of Nickelodeon's '90s classics: Rugrats, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, and CatDog.
With a NickToons team-up movie on the way, let's take a look at Nickelodeon's best and brightest animated series from yesteryear.
Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite) will co-write and direct NickToons, a film along the lines of Who Framed Roger Rabbit using Nickelodeon cartoons.
Nickelodeon's president of content and development says the company is considering reviving older cartoon series like Rugrats.
Officials from the Department of Health are set to meet with IT industry representatives in Sydney and Melbourne this week, as they prepare to take bids for the right to build Australia’s new Medicare payments engine.
The agency will partner with a third party systems integrator to build the new IT system, after plans to fully outsource the end-to-end process of calculating and paying health rebates to a bank, telco or other organisation were officially canned during the 2015 election campaign.
The Turnbull government was forced to turn its back on a proposal to privatise the rebate processing work after a major public backlash threatened to derail its re-election prospects in July.
It had been tentatively taking market proposals from potential outsourcers, including Australia Post, since August 2014.
Health will now embark on a much more run-of-the-mill procurement process to hire an IT company that will build a replacement for the legacy Medicare technology, which it will go on to run and maintain internally.
Local systems integrators are being invited to sign up to one of two meetings with officials to help them “understand the department’s requirements” ahead of a request for tenders hitting the market early this year.
The government is also looking to help vendors link up with each other with an eye to building consortia or “potential teaming arrangements” to respond to the upcoming RFT.
The first meeting will take place in Melbourne on Wednesday morning and the second in Sydney on Thursday afternoon.
Vendor representatives have until the end of today to register.
Medicare rebates are currently processed by a 30-year-old IT system which is estimated to remain usable for four more years at best.
The cost of replacing the system is estimated to be comparable but somewhat less that the $1.5 billion Centrelink systems replacement taking place in parallel.
KILLEEN, Texas (KWTX) Police have made an arrest after a weekend shooting that sent a woman to a local hospital.
Tommy Lee Ovalle, 24, remained in the Bell County Jail Monday charged with discharge of a firearm in a municipality.
His bond is set at $5,000.
Ovalle was arrested after Killeen officers responded to a report of a shooting Saturday afternoon on Marlin Drive.
Authorities said a man fired a gun at the home.
The bullet ricocheted and the woman was struck, but it's not clear by what.
She was taken to a local hospital with what police said were non-life-threatening injuries.
Close ties between the royal families of Spain and Saudi Arabia could help Madrid conclude a lucrative deal to sell warships to Riyadh, much to the alarm of rights groups.
[MADRID] Close ties between the royal families of Spain and Saudi Arabia could help Madrid conclude a lucrative deal to sell warships to Riyadh, much to the alarm of rights groups.
They claim the sale would be illegal under international law and accuse the oil-rich kingdom of carrying out war crimes in its military campaign in Yemen, which has killed thousands of civilians.
Spain's King Felipe VI will on Saturday begin a three-day official visit to the Middle Eastern country at the invitation of Saudi Arabia's King Salman.
Spanish media has linked this visit to a much anticipated deal to sell Avante 2200 corvettes for an estimated two billion euros (S$3 billion).
"We can only confirm that negotiations are very advanced to build five warships which would be sold to the Saudi navy," a spokesman for state-owned Spanish ship builder Navantia told AFP.
Spain is currently the seventh largest arms exporter in the world.
Its arms exports jumped by 55 per cent in 2011-15 over the previous five years, according to the Brussels-based Group for Research and Information on Peace and Security.
And its sales to Saudi Arabia, the country with the highest military expenditure per capita, are on the rise.
Felipe's father, Juan Carlos, who reigned from 1975 to 2014, "had and still has an exceptional personal relationship with the Saudi royal family, which has boosted economic ties", said Ana Romero, who was written several books about the former king.
Juan Carlos was a close friend of Saudi Arabia's late King Fahd, who reigned from 1982 to 2005, and is close to his brother King Salman.
Fahd offered Juan Carlos a yacht and the two would meet frequently, in private, in France and at the Saudi monarch's luxurious palace in the upmarket beach resort of Marbella on Spain's southern coast.
Juan Carlos was credited with playing a decisive role in 2011 in helping a Spanish consortium win a contract worth 6.7 billion euros (S$10.2 billion) to build a high-speed railway linking the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.
"There has always been a suspicion that Juan Carlos was a great lobbyist not only for Spain but also to aid his friends, close businessmen and maybe even himself," said Mr Romero.
"Everything is different with Felipe VI: nobody thinks he can do something like that, Spanish entrepreneurs do not travel with him and his trips are much more controlled by the state."
If the deal for the five corvettes goes ahead, it would provide jobs for over 2,000 people for several years, said Jose Antonio Fernandez Vidal, a representative of Spain's biggest union, Comisiones Obreras, in the northwestern region of Galicia, which is home to a major shipyard.
"We are awaiting this like rain in summer to create jobs in shipyards," he said.
Spain's jobless rate of 18.9 per cent is the second highest in the European Union after Greece.
The contract is not a done deal yet as Saudi Arabia is slashing spending with falling oil prices having led to a drop in revenues.
And Spain faces stiff competition.
