Manchester United return to Premier League action this week to take on Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
Ruben Amorim’s side belatedly picked up some form prior to the March international break, turning in one of their best performances of the season to beat Real Sociedad in the Europa League before easing past Leicester City.
The break has seen a number of United stars return to training after a recent spate of injury problems.
Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro and Luke Shaw were all back at Carrington last week.
Maguire has not featured since being forced off late on in United’s FA Cup defeat to Fulham at the beginning of March.

Yoro meanwhile was replaced at half-time in the 1-1 draw with Arsenal, missing the Europa League second leg clash against Real Sociedad and the 3-0 win over Leicester City prior to the international break.
Shaw has endured a disastrous campaign derailed injury, featuring just three times under Ruben Amorim before being sidelined again in December.
Kobbie Mainoo meanwhile has not featured since mid-February, sidelined with a muscle problem. While he was not pictured in training last week, it had been hoped he would be available for the trip to Forest.
United meanwhile are still assessing Ayden Heaven after the young defender was stretchered off against Leicester.
While he was pictured leaving the King Power Stadium wearing a protective boot that night, Fears over a serious injury have subsided, with hope he will be available again soon.
When will Ayden Heaven return for Man Utd?
His injury at Leicester looked like it was quite minor, albeit one where he was in a quite a lot of pain.
Our thoughts were his ankle wobbled as he came down onto it. It was likely one of two things – it was ligament damage from the movement in his ankle or the peroneal muscle group that stopped his ankle from rolling that gave him that tweak and a little strain in one of those muscles.
It could have been a slight hairline fracture but I think that would have been the worst case scenario. With the other two, you are probably talking about a couple of weeks out. 2-4 weeks is probably on the money.

Amad Diallo meanwhile fuelled hope of a return in the coming weeks with a social media post, having been sidelined with an ankle injury that was thought to have ended his season.
Amorim will be expected to provide an update on the Ivorian and the rest of his squad this week.
The United boss remains without Lisandro Martinez and Jonny Evans at the back.
Rasmus Hojlund meanwhile ended his 19-game drought with a well-taken goal against Leicester before scoring a winner against Portugal during the international break.
