Manchester United have had a rough ride this season with significant injuries to their key men.
Lisandro Martinez and Amad Diallo both had season-ending ligament injuries. Kobbie Mainoo has also been out for weeks but is due to return after the international break.
Also, Altay Bayindir has been side-lined, leaving Ruben Amorim to rely on problematic first-choice keeper Andre Onana.
Alongside them all, the routinely injured pair of Luke Shaw and Mason Mount have kept revisiting the treatment room on a regular basis.
However, Mount has now made it back into team selection, being an unused substitute in United’s recent 3-0 win over Leicester.
Now, his fellow injury-prone teammate is looking to be returning to the team very soon.

Luke Shaw looks close to returning to the pitch
Speaking after the Leicester fixture, Ruben Amorim discussed the international break, seeing United have two weeks away from fixtures.
The Portuguese manager commented: “We are going to divide the group. Some players like Mason Mount, Toby [Collyer], they have to work on their fitness.
“We have to recover players like Harry Maguire and Kobbie Mainoo.”
Then the manager specifically commented on the injured left-back, saying: “You have Luke Shaw, he’s going to be ready soon. Everything is prepared, everybody has an idea for this break.”
With two weeks of concentrating on training and fitness, Shaw will be hoping to recover enough to come back stronger against Nottingham Forest on 1st April.
As Amorim is without Martinez and now potentially without Ayden Heaven after his injury in the Leicester game, Shaw could stand a great shot at coming in as one of Amorim’s back three.
