Manchester United handed triple boost as three stars return to PAOK squad
The early team news as Man Utd face PAOK in the Europa League on Thursday night.
Manchester United have been handed a triple selection boost ahead of their Europa League clash with PAOK on Thursday night.
Ruud van Nistelrooy takes interim charge of United for the penultimate time tonight and will be hoping to earn his side their first European victory of the season in the process.
United have been handed a triple boost ahead of the match with Mason Mount, Christian Eriksen and Antony all included in the matchday squad following their recent injury issues. The trio all trained with the first-team squad on the eve of the match and have all been deemed fit enough to be involved.
Mount has not featured since he went off with a head injury during the heavy home defeat to Tottenham last month, while Eriksen has missed the last two matches. Antony did not feature in any of the last three matches after he went off injured in the final minutes of the draw with Fenerbahce.
Even with the injury boosts, there are set to be a few academy hopefuls included in the matchday squad as well. Jayce Fitzgerald, Harry Amass and Ethan Wheatley were also among those pictured arriving at Old Trafford ahead of the match on Thursday night.
It remains to be seen what roles Mount, Eriksen and Antony play in the match, but all will be revealed when Van Nistelrooy’s line up is officially confirmed at 6:45pm GMT.
