Man Utd handed huge defensive boost for Sunday

Manchester United have been handed a huge defensive injury boost ahead of the Premier League clash against Leeds United on the road this weekend.

The Red Devils have had a dismal start to the campaign under manager Michael Carrick and they are currently at the bottom end of the league table with just six points from as many matches.

The pressure is already on Carrick to turn things around and he has been handed a huge boost for the trip to Elland Road with Noussair Mazraoui back in training after a hip problem on international duty.

Mazraoui was visibly in pain for Morocco during the break but he has made a swift recovery to return to training. The former Bayern Munich man could be in contention to start against Leeds this weekend.

With Luke Shaw deemed doubtful due to injury, Mazraoui could be tasked to operate in the left-back position against the Peacocks on Sunday.
