The trio of absentees was revealed by Fabrizio Romano who pointed out that United have now seen 60 separate cases of injury or illness this season.
The unbelievable stat has sent Man Utd fans into frenzy with many taking to social media to react.
One wrote: "On a serious note this is genuinely not normal at all. It’s not a coincidence, something is going wrong behind the scenes."
While another added: "Surely gotta investigate wtf is happening in training?? Unless it’s in games obviously but this is insane now. Training too hard? So frustrating."

A third pointed towards the lack of fitness for Mount and Amrabat, writing: "Mount and Amrabat have been absolutely disastrous signings."
And a fourth commented: "This isn’t bad luck, the amount of injuries we get in training is ridiculous and can’t be a coincidence."
The absence of Willy Kambwala is particularly concerning for United who now only have one senior centre-back fit for the cup clash tomorrow.
Harry Maguire is the lone available central defender with Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans all ruled out with injury.

Erik Ten Hag has been forced to turn to 18-year-old Louis Jackson as a result with the teenager travelling with the squad for the semi-final.
Jackson has never made a senior appearance but has been an important player for the Red Devils' U18s and U21s sides this season.

Although, Jackson may not be making his debut on the hallowed turf of Wembley with Ten Hag reportedly testing out alternative options.
It is said that the Dutch gaffer has been testing Casemiro out as a centre-back alongside Maguire as an emergency option for tomorrow's game.
