The Red Devils will have Antony & Harry Maguire back in the first-team fold for their Europa League return leg clash against Xavi Hernandez’s Barcelona at Old Trafford....CONTINUE READING THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
With a leg injury, Antony has missed United’s previous four games and hasn’t played since the 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace earlier this month.
While Maguire sustained a knee injury ahead Sunday’s match against Leicester City, both players are in the running for the match on Thursday at the Threatre of Dreams.
‘We still have training [session] to go but I expect Maguire & Antony available,’ the Dutch tactician said in his a pre-match presser ahead of tomorrow’s game.
‘Anthony Martial will miss out, he’s back on the pitch but we wait for team training’
The France international who made his comeback from a seven-game layoff against Nottingham Forest earlier this month, has suffered with a hip issue in recent weeks.
Last Thursday at the Camp Nou, United put up an outstanding performance, coming from behind after Marcos Alonso’s opening goal early in the second half.
Five minutes later, Marcus Rashford produced the second goal for the Red Devils by setting up Jules Kounde’s goal against his own goalie.
As Raphinha’s cross found its way into the goal 14 minutes from time, the visitors were put on the defensive.
If United can duplicate their performance from last week in Spain, they will have a good chance of securing a spot in the last 16 of the Europa League. Lisandro Martinez and Marcel Sabitzer are eligible after serving bans in the first leg.
