Manchester United have received a huge boost ahead of their crucial Champions League clash against Galatasaray in Istanbul.

It is no secret that Manchester United have had a whole host of injury issues since the start of the season back in August but it looks like two players will be back on the pitch sooner rather than later.

Erik ten Hag was already able to welcome Luke Shaw back into the fold much to his relief and the Englishman showed what the fans had been missing with his performance.

Now, ahead of a tough week of fixtures, the former Ajax boss looks like he will be able to welcome back a further two players to the team.

United players return

Before the United team flies out to Istanbul for the crucial match against Galatasaray tomorrow night, the club held an open training session.

During this, Rasmus Hojlund and Antony have been spotted with the United squad in full training and one, if not both, of them, will surely feature against the Turkish side.

Antony, in particular, will be expecting to start the game in Turkey. After Marcus Rashford’s controversial sending-off for the Red Devils against FC Copenhagen, the English forward will miss the game which means the Brazilian winger will surely come in.

However, Facundo Pellistri made a strong case in his favour to start the game after his bright and positive cameo at Goodison Park.

Youngsters spotted

As well as Antony and Hojlund returning, Joe Hugill was also spotted with the United first-team squad and it looks likely that the talented 20-year-old forward will be on the plane to Turkey.

Another promising academy player Jack Fletcher, who also has a twin brother Tyler who is part of the United youth setup, has been spotted training with the first-team squad as Ten Hag continues to reward academy players who have performed well in the youth team.

Fletcher is the son of technical director Darren Fletcher and he has impressed for the club’s under-18 side this season so an inclusion in a matchday squad may not be too far away.
