Five Manchester United players return to full training before the match against Nottingham Forest.

Five Manchester United players have resumed training ahead of their Premier League match against Nottingham Forest next Tuesday.

 

Defenders Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, and goalkeepers Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton were seen training at Carrington today.

 

Yoro had been sidelined for 26 games this season due to multiple fitness setbacks, missing United’s last two fixtures before the international break.

 

Maguire has not played since United’s FA Cup fifth-round loss to Fulham earlier this month and has missed 11 games this season due to injuries.

 

Their return provides manager Ruben Amorim with additional options in central defense, especially with Lisandro Martinez and Ayden Heaven unavailable for the upcoming matches.

 

Shaw has been out of action since December’s Premier League game against Everton at Old Trafford, making him one of the team’s long-term absentees.

 

His future at the club remains uncertain due to recurring injuries and the emergence of Patrick Dorgu, who has now established himself as the preferred left-back.

 

Bayindir has not been included in a matchday squad since January’s FA Cup win over Arsenal, while Heaton last featured in the squad during the Europa League fixture against FSCB.

 

Promising forward Bendito Mantato, who is set to sign his first professional contract next week, also participated in training alongside academy prospects Godwill Kukonki, Jim Thwaites, and Reece Munro.

 

Noussair Mazraoui, Victor Lindelof, and Manuel Ugarte were absent, as Amorim granted them a rest day following their international commitments on Tuesday.

 

With seven matches scheduled next month, United will need a fully fit squad to navigate the demanding fixture list. While their league ambitions are limited, securing the Europa League title remains crucial to earning a Champions League spot next season.
