Man Utd have been handed a massive injury boost ahead of their return to Premier League action later this month.
Manchester United have been handed a huge injury boost ahead of their final seven matches of the Premier League season.
Michael Carrick’s side are currently well-positioned to secure Champions League qualification at the end of the campaign, but still need to get a few more points on the board to be certain of a top-four finish. United are back in action when they host historic rivals Leeds at Old Trafford on Monday 13 April and there is some positive injury news ahead of the match.
United have confirmed defender Patrick Dorgu is back doing individual training on grass at Carrington as he continues his rehabilitation from a hamstring injury. The 21-year-old has been sidelined since he suffered the injury in the dramatic 3-2 away win over Arsenal in January, when he scored a spectacular goal. Dorgu has missed the last eight matches because of the setback, but is expected to return before the end of the season and could even return later this month.
