Manchester United make squad change vs Fulham after transfer confirmed

Manchester United have received a triple fitness boost ahead of tonight's Premier League trip to face Fulham.

Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro have both travelled to London for the match after suffering injury scares in the midweek win over Rangers, while Noussair Mazraoui is also part of the squad after missing the last match as a precaution. De Ligt was replaced by Harry Maguire at half-time of the Europa League encounter after suffering a leg issue. Yoro lasted just ten minutes after the second-half restart when Tyrell Malacia replaced him.

United’s fitness boost was confirmed when senior squad members were spotted meeting at Stockport train station on Saturday afternoon ahead of travelling down to London for the fixture.

Speaking after the Rangers win, United head coach Ruben Amorim said: "Leny has a pain, also Mattha, I think was a bruise, a touch. Leny was a little bit tired, he's playing more in this moment so we have to be really careful. We'll see. I don't know."

There will be a few changes to the United squad tonight with Mazraoui set to be involved after he missed his first match of the season in midweek. He could also be joined by fellow defender Victor Lindelof, who has not been named in a match day squad since the Carabao Cup quarter-final defeat to Tottenham last month. The Sweden international returned to training earlier this week but was not included in the squad to face Rangers.

United will also have another change to their squad after Antony completed his loan move to Real Betis yesterday. The Brazilian forward has agreed to a straight loan until the end of the season that will see United recoup a minimum of 84 percent of his salary as well as performance-related bonuses. He only featured in 14 this season, though nine of those appearances came under new head coach Amorim, who used him frequently from the bench.

Confirmed squad members: Altay Bayindir, Tom Heaton, Diogo Dalot, Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt, Leny Yoro, Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia, Manuel Ugarte, Christian Eriksen, Kobbie Mainoo, Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, Joshua Zirkzee, Rasmus Hojlund.
