Manchester United welcomed five players back to first-team training ahead of their upcoming Premier League clash with Nottingham Forest.
Ruben Amorim's side are undefeated in their last four matches in all competitions and beat Leicester City 3-0 prior to the March international break. Into the last eight of the Europa League, things are beginning to somewhat look up.
Mason Mount, Harry Maguire and Kobbie Mainoo are just three players who have suffered lengthy injury setbacks in recent weeks - so who is in line to return?

With Nottingham Forest set to be without star striker Chris Wood, Manchester United could look to surprise a few at The City Ground next week.
Despite only losing twice on home soil all season, Forest play twice in just four days and that could allow Amorim's side another advantage when it comes to their Premier League clash on Tuesday.

As confirmed by ManUtd.com, five players returned to training at Carrington on Friday with the first two in the goalkeeper department.
Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton are once again back in the first-team fold and will continue to put pressure on the often-shaky-looking Andre Onana between now and the end of the campaign.
Furthermore, Luke Shaw, Maguire and Leny Yoro also took part in team training with Amorim's defensive options bolstered ahead of their clash against top-four hopefuls Forest.
Shaw has played three times all season with the 29-year-old suffering varying setbacks after returning from international duty with England in the summer.

Patrick Dorgu is back from suspension and is likely to start for the Red Devils but having Shaw back is a huge boost for Manchester United given they are still involved in European football.
Maguire and Yoro will provide further cover for the likes of Victor Lindelof, Matthijs De Ligt and the currently sidelined Ayden Heaven, with the full extent of his setback yet to be confirmed.
