Phil Neville has been ruled out for two or three weeks due to surgery on a knee injury suffered against Fulham in September.

Marouane Fellaini also misses Wednesday's match against Hull as he serves a one-match suspension for accumulating five yellow cards this season, while Diniyar Bilyaletdinov sits out the final game of his three-match ban.

Fellow midfielder Steven Pienaar has an outside chance of featuring against Hull after eight weeks out with a knee injury but is more likely to be kept back for Sunday's Merseyside derby.
