Last updated at 1 hour ago.

The United training ground was closed for four days to break the chain of Covid-19 infections.

The recent outbreak of Covid-19 at the club has made the Manchester United squad almost at full strength.

The games against Brentford and Brighton were postponed because of the outbreak.

After a break of 16 days, the side face a side on Monday, December 27.

"Today was the third day of training and we had 25 outfield players," he said.

Everyone else was on board, except for Paul Pogba.

The first-team section of the training ground was closed last week due to the outbreak, with only eight outfield players available to train.

The training ground was closed to break the chain. The last week was positive. There will be a day off on Christmas Day and we will have the last training session on Sunday.

The players were in good shape and had done their homework while training at home.

He said that they stuck to their schedule and programme.

I can say most of them, if not all of them, might be available, but I'll have to make some difficult decisions on who will be in the squad and the staring XI.
