Ruben Amorim will be delighted with news of the return of two key players as Manchester United prepare to face Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League.

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has received a timely boost ahead of Thursday's UEFA Europa League clash with Bodo/Glimt.

Defenders Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez have resumed team training, joining their teammates for Wednesday morning's session.

It remains to be seen whether Maguire and Martinez will be fit to feature in Thursday's clash at Old Trafford, but their return is a positive as Amorim persists with his 3-defender formation.

Lisandro Martinez has struggled with injuries since joining Manchester United

Martinez, meanwhile, withdrew from the Argentina squad for the recent international break and missed Sunday’s draw against Ipswich.

Amorim only managed a point in his opener against Ipswich, but there were positives to take from that game, and the new United boss will be keen to record his first win.
