Ander Herrera is set to make his comeback for Manchester United against Derby in the Carabao Cup.

The Spaniard has recovered from an ankle injury and is in line to make an appearance in the third-round tie.

Herrera has been on the sidelines since United's 2-0 victory over Burnley at Turf Moor on September 2.

Manager Jose Mourinho has however confirmed he will be without defender Marcos Rojo who is injured, while striker Marcus Rashford will serve the final match of his three-game ban.

"Ander is ready," Mourinho told the club's official site on Monday.

The Portuguese manager also confirmed that summer signing Diogo Dalot would feature against Derby, following his impressive recent performance in the Champions League against Young Boys.

"He has played there but with an empty stadium. He played in the Under-23s, now he plays in the first team.

"Obviously people liked what they saw in the match against Young Boys.

"This is an English competition, the different salt and pepper that English competitions have and I think it is good for him, for his development, for him to be ready for the top flight as soon as possible."
