Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw have been seen back at Manchester United training. The two defenders could make their return for the Premier League giants in the FA Cup match against Newport.

Say it quietly, but Manchester United’s injury problems that have slowed them down this season seem to be getting better.

Lisandro Martinez finally returned after a long absence against Tottenham Hotspur last time out. The Argentine player celebrated with a nutmeg, a few of his trademark cutting passes, and an off-the-ball shoulder barge on Richarlison, who always gets on Martinez’s nerves.

Casemiro was also back with United for the game against Spurs. Erik ten Hag might soon be able to use both Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw. On Sunday, after a two-week break, the Red Devils play fourth-tier Newport County in the FA Cup.

The return of Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw

Man United’s website revealed that the England players are back in the running. Maguire and Shaw were seen being put through their runs with Antony, Kobbie Mainoo, and Jonny Evans.

In fact, the injury list used to be as long as the Bayeux Tapestry, but now it only has four names: Victor Lindelof, Mason Mount, Anthony Martial, and Tyrell Malacia, who will be out for a long time.

Maguire hasn’t played since getting hurt against Bayern Munich in early December. At the time, he was in great shape and won the November player of the month award.
