Manchester United have recovered the services of Harry Maguire, who resumed training following a brief injury scare.
The England international has been a mainstay at the back since recovering from the thigh issue that kept him on the sidelines for more than a month.
His return to action coincided with the appointment of Michael Carrick, who immediately fielded him as a regular starter alongside Lisandro Martinez.
| Man Utd EPL Results in 25/26 | With Maguire in Starting XI | Without Maguire in Starting XI |
| Matches | 9 | 17 |
| Wins | 6 | 6 |
| Draws | 2 | 7 |
| Losses | 1 | 4 |
| Points | 20 | 25 |
The duo started at the back in the 44-year-old first five games in charge, producing brilliant displays on most occasions. Maguire, in particular, has been hailed for his ‘colossal’ outing in the 3-2 victory over Arsenal last month.
However, fans feared that the Sheffield native’s momentum may have been interrupted by a new physical problem, as he was forced to leave the pitch in the 68th minute against West Ham United.
Harry Maguire returns to Man United training
After the midweek contest at the London Stadium, Maguire provided a positive update on his condition, telling members of the media that he’s feeling ‘alright’.
This initial relief has now been confirmed, as the big centre half was spotted training alongside his teammates on Saturday.
The official Man Utd X account posted videos of the morning session at Carrington, and Maguire could be clearly seen joining training from the get-go, putting all injury fears to bed.

Maguire & Mason Mount should be available against Everton
Due to their premature FA Cup exit, United will have an idle weekend, while the majority of other Premier League clubs will take part in the 4th round.
Carrick’s men won’t play until February 23, when they host Everton for a Premier League contest at Old Trafford.
Therefore, this extended break will allow Maguire and others to fully recover their powers before the next one.
Carrick had also revealed that Mason Mount is expected to be back for the clash against the Toffees. Matthijs de Ligt remains slightly behind the English midfielder in his rehabilitation process, but he’s also hoping to be fit enough for a call-up.
Hope Carrick does not make the mistakes he made against WetHam like playing out from the back and then struggling to get out. Free kickc and throw in all backwards.
Also remind Martinez to stop walking with the ball and have a look at the left flank before passing the ball.
Most of the team were flat footed against West Ham. I don’t know why but most of the team seemed tired. You would think that maybe one or two would have an off day, but not most of the team. Mainoo was probably the only one who played up to standard. I would also worry about only having Ugarte as replacement midfielder, surely we should bring Fletcher or someone else to play instead. Martinez could even play there when Casemiro goes off as we always concede then.
