Manchester United have received a boost with the news that Luke Shaw and Nemanja Matic are resuming light training.

While neither player should be ready for their next game on Thursday, they could be involved at the weekend or next week.

Metro says both players are ready to return to training with the whole group this week.

Shaw and Matic have been absent for a considerable spell, especially Shaw.

United are looking forward to the upcoming international break, as it gives them time to get more players fit.

Paul Pogba is the only one who could be out beyond that period, as he is not expected to be back until December or January.
