Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been ruled out of action since September, but the Manchester United right-back is moving closer to a return after stepping up his recovery process.
According to the Daily Mail, Wan-Bissaka is making progress following a return to light training sessions at Carrington.
The Manchester derby on Sunday will come too soon for Wan-Bissaka, with the report stating that he is approximately 10 days away from being match-ready.
Of course, we won’t know for sure until Erik ten Hag confirms it, and the manager has a tendency to keep return dates on injured players to himself.
Ten Hag will speak to the media this afternoon ahead of the game against Man City.

However, Wan-Bissaka looks set to return to action in November — possibly against FC Copenhagen away — which means Diogo Dalot will soon have competition at right-back.
United are light in defence due to injuries but the returning Wan-Bissaka will be a welcome addition to the squad. Dalot has played well but I don’t think he’ll retain his spot.
That said, I think Ten Hag will be looking for a new right-back next summer.
