Michael Carrick is set to make at least one change to his starting lineup for Sunday's Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest, following a positive injury update from Carrington this morning.
The Manchester United boss has been given a timely boost with the return of midfield duo Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte to first-team training. After sitting out the goalless draw with Sunderland due to minor knocks, both players are now back in contention.
All eyes will be on Casemiro, who is expected to be restored to the starting XI immediately. This could spell a return to the bench for Mason Mount, who deputised in the Brazilian's absence but is likely to make way for the five-time Champions League winner.
Sunday's fixture carries extra significance as it will be Casemiro's final home appearance for the Red Devils before his expected departure in the summer. His last outing in a United shirt will come on the final day of the season, when the Reds travel to Brighton on May 24.
Meanwhile, Ugarte's future at Old Trafford looks increasingly uncertain. The Uruguayan has started just once under Carrick—in the defeat to Leeds United—and has been an unused substitute in the three subsequent matches he was available for. With his sale expected in the summer, his minutes are likely to be limited.
United's meeting with Forest was rescheduled after their Europa League semi-final exit to Aston Villa. With Premier League safety already secured, the remaining fixtures are now about restoring pride and finishing the season on a high note.
For fans heading to Old Trafford on Sunday, it could be a farewell to remember for one of the game's modern greats.
