He’s back to training now and will probably play against Nottingham Forest”: Manchester United’s coach Ruben Amorim has confirmed a big injury boost for Man United as talented youngster returns to training despite doctor’s out of the season prediction

Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim is set to welcome Altay Bayindir back to the fold after almost two months on the sidelines.

The Turkiye international has been serving as Andre Onana’s understudy, so he only made six appearances this season, half of them in the Carabao Cup.

His most memorable outing was in the FA Cup third round when his heroics played an instrumental role in the Red Devils’ victory over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, with Mikel Arteta hailing his ‘oustanding’ performance.
However, the 26-year-old has been out of action since early February, leaving Amorim with a depleted goalkeeping department, especially with third-choice custodian Tom Heaten also ruled out of action.

But according to Man Utd insider ‘Sully’, Bayindir has been making leaps and bounds on the training ground, which suggests his return to the matchday squad could be imminent.
Altay returned to grass training last week and he has been making good recovery in recent weeks. His fitness levels have gone up massively and hes been focusing on strength and rehab work,” posted the journalist on his X account.
Sully also provided updates on the club’s other injured players, reiterating that Harry Maguire could be the first to return to the lineup. The big defender has already resumed grass training on Monday alongside fellow England international Kobbie Mainoo.

For his part, Luke Shaw has been on the training ground since last week, but he still has some rehab work to do before returning to selection. Leny Yoro is showing positive signs, but it remains unclear whether he resumed grass training or not.

Amad Diallo is expected to return to group training starting next month, while Johny Evans remains slightly behind. Finally, Ayden Heaven has avoided a serious injury, but he could be ruled out of action for a few weeks.
Manchester United’s goalkeeper, Altay Bayindir, is on the verge of returning to the squad after nearly two months sidelined due to a muscle injury. His anticipated comeback is timely, bolstering the team’s goalkeeping options ahead of crucial fixtures.

In addition to Bayindir, several other players are making strides in their recovery:

Harry Maguire: The defender has resumed grass training and is expected to be available for selection soon. His recent omission from the England squad was attributed to form rather than fitness concerns.

Kobbie Mainoo: The young midfielder has returned to training, indicating a potential return to match fitness in the near future.

Luke Shaw: The left-back has been active on the training ground since last week, focusing on rehabilitation work before being deemed match-ready.

Leny Yoro: The defender is showing positive signs in his recovery, though it’s unclear if he has resumed full training.

Amad Diallo: The winger, who suffered ankle ligament damage in February, has hinted at an early comeback through a cryptic social media post, suggesting his recovery is progressing well.

Jonny Evans: The experienced defender is slightly behind in his rehabilitation process compared to his teammates.

Ayden Heaven: The young talent has avoided a serious injury but is expected to be sidelined for a few weeks.

These developments provide manager Rúben Amorim with increased options as Manchester United approaches a series of pivotal matches.
