Manchester United are preparing for their next Premier League fixture against Nottingham Forest tomorrow night.
The Red Devils are desperate to get as many points as possible in their final nine games in a bid to finish in the top half of the table.
Thankfully for Ruben Amorim, the international break has given his side a chance to recover, with their injury list growing once again.
Now, speaking ahead of the Nottingham Forest game, Amorim gave a huge update on his current injury list.

Ruben Amorim gives huge update on Manchester United injury list
The Portuguese manager commented: “Luke Shaw is not ready yet. We are starting doing some drills with the team but we are building Luke… it’s not time yet.”
Shaw has been ruled out of most of the last two seasons with various injuries, routinely getting close to returning or even making it back to the pitch for a couple of games before another injury strikes.
As such, this update isn’t overly surprising, nor is it much of a setback, with the club now used to operating without their former first-choice left-back.
However, in a more impactful update, Amorim confirmed that youngsters Kobbie Mainoo and Ayden Heaven are still not ready to feature against Forest.
The United manager commented: “I think Kobbie is almost returning also but not ready for this game. Jonny Evans is recovering, Ayden [Heaven] is recovering.”
So whilst they are not quite ready, it does indicate that the pair, as well as veteran defender Jonny Evans, are very close to a return.
The duo of Mainoo and Heaven being in the treatment room is definitely a bigger blow for Amorim, with the young midfielder being a key, albeit versatile, part of the United squad, playing in the centre of the pitch and being trialled in more attacking roles.
Meanwhile, Heaven, who signed in January, has already made his debut, providing cover for Lisandro Martinez who was ruled out of the rest of the season with a torn ACL.
