United were hampered by unavailability during Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, as Amad, Toby Collyer, Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte were ruled out due to injury, and Christian Eriksen and Leny Yoro were ill for the trip to the capital.
After the game in north London, Amorim said he hoped the latter two players would recover in time for the Toffees test, but Amad and Mainoo are longer-term concerns and will definitely sit out of this one.
Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton have also been absent, while Jonny Evans, Mason Mount and Luke Shaw are yet to play since the turn of the year. Lisandro Martinez has undergone surgery on the cruciate ligament issue that he suffered against Crystal Palace at the beginning of this month.
Everton have their fair share of absentees, although Abdoulaye Doucoure is available again after suspension. The Mali midfielder was sent off in the recent Merseyside derby, a game in which the Toffees look to have lost exciting attacker Iliman Ndiaye to a long-term knee problem.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin, a thorn in United’s side in previous years, has a thigh injury, while Armando Broja, Seamus Coleman, Orel Mangala and Dwight McNeil are also out.
