The manager told the official club media, “It is one of them. It was a great recovery run, a recovery sprint, he saved maybe a goal, so he sacrificed himself for the team.’’

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer already has Edison Cavani on the sidelines who missed the Manchester Derby and he will be sweating on his fitness.

He will hope to have the Englishman back as the Red Devils enter an important set of fixtures for which his requirement is paramount.

Manchester United play AC Milan next on Thursday before they host West Ham United, who are in good form this season, on Sunday in an all-important clash at Old Trafford.
