Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed that he expects injured quartet Eric Bailly, Paul Pogba, Diogo Dalot and Scott McTominay to return to action before the New Year.
United are currently without a host of players due to injuries, but Solskjaer anticipates that the club's problems in that area will soon reduce.
'I am hopeful that before the end of the year we can have a lot more bodies back from injury,' Solskjaer said in his programme notes, as reported by Manchester Evening News.
'We're hoping to see Scott, Diogo, Paul and Eric back this month, while Thursday's game in Astana was a good opportunity to get some of the lads some valuable playing time to integrate them fully into the squad.'
Bailly hasn't played at all this season because of a knee problem, while Pogba has been out since September due to an ankle injury.
Dalot, meanwhile, has been struggling with a groin problem and McTominay has an ankle issue.
Having all of the aforementioned players back available would be a major boost for United, who are eager to start building up momentum.
United went into Sunday's clash at home to Aston Villa looking to return to winning ways following their Europa League defeat to Astana, when they fielded a very young side.
