Amorim can call on renewed defence against sturdy Forest

MANCHESTER United manager Ruben Amorim will have defenders Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro back in his squad when their Premier League campaign resumes at high-flying Nottingham Forest today.

- 

Maguire missed United's last two league matches with a calf problem ahead of the international break, while Yoro had a foot injury.

"Maguire is ready to go to the game, and Yoro," Amorim said yesterday.

The manager also delivered good news on defender Ayden Heaven, who joined United from Arsenal in January but was carried off during his first start two weeks ago.

"It is not so serious. (Heaven) is recovering. He is not yet ready to play, but he will return this season, for sure," Amorim said.

Luke Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo have returned to training but are not fit enough to play.

"(Shaw is) starting to do some drills with the team, but we are building Luke," the Portuguese said. "Kobbie is almost ready, Jonny (Evans) is recovering."

United, 13th in the table, are unbeaten in their last four league games but face a stiff test against third-placed Forest, who are within sight of a return to Europe's top club competition for the first time in 45 years.

Forest played 120 minutes in an FA Cup quarter-final win over Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, while United are coming off a 15-day break.
