Last week, Erik ten Hag revealed that both Antony and Scott McTominay could return to action this week when United face Barcelona and Newcastle.

"It looks like they are on the way back," Ten Hag said. "They're coming back on the training ground, individual (work). At the end of the week, maybe Scott and Antony in the team and after the weekend we're planning to take but we have to see.

"It looks good. I think they are on their way back, they are coming back on the training ground, individual work. At the end of the week, maybe Scott can make the team and after the weekend, we maybe plan Antony.
