Matthijs de Ligt and Amad Diallo, who have been absent due to injuries in recent weeks, were seen in team training today, raising hopes for their imminent return. This European fixture is the highlight of the season for the Red Devils, who are enduring a tough campaign. Manchester United, currently in the lower half of the Premier League table, sees the Europa League as their only remaining goal to salvage the season.

The return of De Ligt and Diallo to group training is encouraging, though their participation in the first leg against Atletico Bilbao remains uncertain. According to reports from United Stand, it is unclear whether the duo will be included in the squad for this week’s match, but their recovery seems close.

Regardless, the return of these two players to training has given manager Ricardo Sá Pinto a fresh boost as he deals with an injury-hit squad and a crucial, packed schedule. Manchester United hopes at least one of them will be ready for tomorrow’s match.
