And United's manager is not putting a timescale on his comeback.

"He had a reaction the other day when he was training," said Benitez. "We will see how he progresses."

Benitez has midfielder Jack Colback back from a two-game suspension, while defender Paul Dummett is expected to return to the starting XI.
