Manchester United receive huge injury boost ahead of Chelsea fixture

Mainoo returns to full training after missing four matches and is available for Chelsea this weekend.

Kobbie Mainoo has returned to full training after recovering from a minor injury that sidelined him for four matches. The 21-year-old midfielder last played in United's 1-1 draw with Tottenham on October 10 and missed games against Atletico Madrid, Leeds, Como and Bournemouth. He is now set to be available for Chelsea this weekend, providing a significant boost to manager Michael Carrick, who is fighting to keep his job following a 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth. Carrick has been tinkering with the midfield in Mainoo's absence, using Andrey Santos and Carlos Baleba in the pivot. United remain without Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford, Benjamin Sesko and Patrick Dorgu.
