Sheffield United: Manchester United receive triple injury boost ahead of Bramall Lane clash with Blades

Luke Shaw, Axel Tuanzebe and Nemanja Matic all trained with their Reds teammates today after spells out injured.

Shaw has been ruled out since August while Axel Tuanzebe, who faced United on loan at Aston Villa last season, also trained.

Matic’s return to action could be timely given Scott McTominay’s absence, with an ankle injury which forced him to miss Scotland’s games over the international break.

"With the injuries we've had, I do think we've coped relatively well with a small squad and a lot of boys playing a lot of minutes in a short space of time," McTominay said.

"I think people forget that we have had a lot of injuries as well, and you can see with Anthony (Martial) coming back, what a difference he makes.

"There are very positive signs and things are changing. Everybody is looking forward to the next game and wanting that next game to come as soon as possible.

"Everybody wants to play and that's the sign of a healthy dressing room."
