Incoming Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim could be handed a triple injury boost ahead of his first match in charge of the club.

The Portuguese boss officially starts work at Old Trafford on 11th November, with his first match in charge 13 days later against Ipswich Town.

United interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy earned a draw against Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday.

That was despite being without eight first-team players.

The likes of Mason Mount, Antony and Harry Maguire have been out for the last three weeks.

But Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Leny Yoro are long-term absentees.

Shaw has been missing with a calf injury since mid-August, while Malacia hasn’t played for the club since April 2022.

Malacia has resumed first team training and is hoping to be available for the trip to Portman Road, while Shaw is also training individually.

Yoro stepped up his recovery a fortnight ago by training individually on the grass again and he is hopeful of participating in full training next week after three months out with a broken foot.

Christian Eriksen’s injury is less serious and United are hopeful that he could return to the squad for Thursday’s Europa League match against PAOK.
