Ruben Amorim’s first season at Manchester United is shaping up to be a dramatic one, with injury concerns slowly turning into unexpected boosts.
United are preparing for their showdown with Lyon in the Europa League, a competition that may well define the trajectory of Amorim’s debut campaign in charge.
All eyes are on Kobbie Mainoo, who is back in full training after missing two months due to a calf injury. The young midfielder’s return is a timely lift as Amorim looks to strengthen his midfield options for the final stretch.
Amorim has exercised caution, though, stating that while Mainoo’s recovery is going well, “we have to be careful” as he reintegrates into the squad.
With the Lyon clash looming, the United boss is seeking every available edge to extend his team’s campaign and boost their momentum.
Now, he may have received another unexpected gift.
Amad Diallo returns to the gym
Amad Diallo, who has been out since suffering an ankle injury at Carrington in February, has been spotted working intensely in the gym.

The 22-year-old was expected to miss the rest of the season, with early reports suggesting his campaign was effectively over.
However, United fans were given hope after the club shared photos of the winger training at Carrington, captioned: “A sight that will brighten your Wednesday.”
Amad’s form before the injury had been nothing short of electric—he remains United’s second-highest goalscorer under Amorim despite missing nearly two months of action.
Amad Diallo was a consistent starter under the new manager, and his absence had left a noticeable void in United’s attacking rhythm.
Amorim hinted last month that he hadn’t ruled out a late-season return for the winger, saying, “Even Amad, we will see in the end of the last month.
“I have the hope to have Amad before the end of the season.”
With progress against Lyon still possible and domestic fixtures stacking up, Amad’s return could be perfectly timed.
If United manage to push deep into the Europa League, the pacey wide man may still have a crucial role to play before the curtain closes on 2024/25.
