Manchester United are only awaiting the return of four players from injury.
Leny Yoro, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Victor Lindelof are the only first-team players sidelined at the moment.
This is a turn in fortune compared to last season, where United had 30 different injury incidents throughout the campaign.
United’s academy sides have received a similar break, with many of their talents also returning to action.

Shea Lacey and Reece Munro both featured for United’s U-18 side in their dominant 9-0 win over Blackburn.
Lacey has battled long-term injuries since October last year, making only nine appearances for United’s academy last season.
He tore his thigh muscle at the end of last year and did not return until April 2024.
However, shortly after his return, Lacey suffered another injury which kept him out of action until now.
Centre-back Munro also missed a significant period of time before coming off the bench today.

Shea Lacey has been involved in first-team training at Carrington after missing United’s pre-season tour through injury.
The club are monitoring his progress, as they are excited about the teenager’s potential.
Immediately after his 17th birthday in April, Lacey was eligible to sign his first professional contract and did so with United.
United’s U-18 side sit second in the Premier League North behind Derby County.
However, United have a game in hand over the league leaders and have won all five of their games this season.
In their rampant start to the season, they have scored 22 goals and conceded just one.
The return of Lacey and Munro will be music to United’s ears, as they look to continue their title defence.
