Angel di Maria is expected to be back for Manchester United this weekend.
Di Maria has missed the past three matches after sustaining a small tear to his hamstring in the 3-0 victory over Hull at Old Trafford on November 29.
The Daily Star says the 26-year-old has already returned to full training and will aim to complete a full week's work ahead of the trip to Villa Park.
If all being well, Di Maria could come back into Louis Van Gaal's thinking for the match against Aston Villa.
