Axel Tuanzebe back to boost Man Utd

Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe is set to return at the weekend after a hip injury forced him out of the draw with Liverpool.

The centre-back, 21, picked up the problem in the warm-up on Sunday and was replaced by Marcos Rojo.

The Sun says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to rest the youngster for Thursday's Europa League clash against Partizan Belgrade but he is expected for the trip to Norwich.

Tuanzebe will be in contention for a place in the squad for the Carrow Road clash when Solskjaer looks to build on the draw against the Champions League holders.

He had started the previous two Premier League matches against Arsenal and Newcastle, after getting told he is part of the first-team plans at United when loan offers came in this summer.
