Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, has said he will not take unnecessary risks with his players for the Community Shield match against Manchester City.
Ten Hag did not have several key players for their pre-season friendly games.
These include Bruno Fernandes, Lisandro Martínez and Alejandro Garnacho.
Leny Yoro and Rasmus Højlund are injured ahead of the start of the season.
Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelöf and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are all doubts to face City.
Ten Hag told reporters: “The FA Cup was a higher occasion than the game on Saturday.
“Nevertheless, we want to win but we showed on occasions we can beat City.
“We have that belief but we don’t want to take a risk with players and lose them for long periods because that is what we have to take from last season because when you are getting in a pattern when we are missing many players with injuries from the same team unit that affects the results.”
“We want to get results and for that players have to be available.”
