Rafa Benitez is set to get a double boost ahead of Newcastle United's visit to Old Trafford.
Benitez was without defensive pair Federico Fernandez and Paul Dummett for last weekend's 2-0 home defeat to Leicester City.
Speaking after the game, Benitez was hopeful that they would be fit for Saturday's game against Manchester United.
