The latest Man Utd injury news ahead of their return to action vs Everton later in the month.
Manchester United have been handed a huge injury boost ahead of their trip to face Everton in the Premier League later this month.
Michael Carrick's side are unbeaten in their last nine matches, five of which have come during his tenure as head coach. United's winning run came to an end when they were held to a 1-1 draw by West Ham United earlier in the week, a match in which they also suffered an injury scare.
Benjamin Sesko struck late on to salvage a point for United after they had struggled to make their possession count against a resilient West Ham side. United had named an unchanged starting line up for the clash, but had to rely on their substitutes to change the game from the bench. Sesko and Joshua Zirkzee provided a greater threat in the forward line, while Leny Yoro made some important defensive contributions after he had replaced Harry Maguire.

Maguire injury boost
Manchester United suffered a fresh injury scare when Harry Maguire was replaced in the second half after he appeared to suffer a hamstring strain earlier in the match. The 32-year-old was seen holding his hamstring after he made a recovery challenge in the first half, but he lasted until the 68th minute before Leny Yoro replaced him.
Michael Carrick did not provide any official update on Maguire after the draw, but United appear to have been handed a boost after he took part in first-team training at the end of the week. The experienced centre-back took to social media on Saturday morning and uploaded images of himself involved in the latest session, which is a huge boost to United ahead of their return to action later in the month.
United are back in action when they travel to face Everton on Monday 23 February, with the early indication that Maguire should be available for selection. Carrick has already stated that Mason Mount should also be available for selection in that match, though it might come too soon for Matthijs De Ligt to return.
The Dutch defender has not been seen since the 2-1 win over Crystal Palace at the end of November and has yet to be pictured in a full training session. United are expected to be without Patrick Dorgu for at least another month after he suffered a hamstring injury during the recent win over Arsenal.
