MANCHESTER UNITED fans have rejoiced at the news that FOUR stars have returned to training ahead of tomorrow’s game against Bayern Munich.

Manager Erik Ten Hag had preached patience to fans wanting the injured stars to return for the Bayern Munich game, saying they were more likely to make the squad for next week’s trip to Burnley.

Raphael Varane also took part in the session

Amrabat returned but did not train with the main group

He said after Saturday’s defeat to Brighton: “Maybe, maybe one player, but I think Munich is a little bit too short. But I think, when we go to Burnley in the week after, I think players will return, yes.”

But United fans have in fact been handed a huge boost with Mason Mount, Raphael Varane, Sofyan Amrabat and Kobbie Mainoo all returning.

Varane missed the last two United matches with an unspecified muscle problem and Mount has missed the last three.

The pair trained alongside the main group and should be available for selection against Bayern Munich.

Meanwhile, Sofyan Amrabat is still working out separately from the rest of the team in an effort to get fit before making his United debut.

The midfielder was scheduled to participate for Morocco during the international break, but he sustained a slight injury, delaying the date of his United debut.

Kobbie Mainoo has now started training again after suffering an injury against Real Madrid in preseason, which is good news for United.

The 18-year-old was a standout for United during preseason, but a challenge from Madrid winger Rodrygo sidelined him for several months.

Mainoo took part in individual training

Like Amrabat, he did not take part in full training.

Anticipation for his return will be high as Ten Hag continues to tinker to try and find his strongest possible midfield.

United fans on Twitter were buzzing with the injury boost after a testing opening period of the season.

Reacting to the return of the four, one fan on Twitter said “Finally, some good news for United. Will the presence of Varane and Mount be sufficient to inspire a positive result for them at Bayern tho? I highly doubt it.”

Another wrote: “Great to see Mason Mount and Raphael Varane back in action for Manchester United! The team is looking stronger than ever!”

A third wrote: “Good news. They’ll be back to their winning form.”
