“He’s back, he’s working hard to try and get fully fit,” said United’s head coach. “We’re pleased to have him back. It (the Everton game) is too early.”

Saint-Maximin had hit form before succumbing to injury. Speaking earlier this month, Howe said: “He was in a really good run of form before this injury, which is a real shame for him – and us. But he’s got to deal with it, he’s got to get right, and get his rhythm back quickly.”
