Christian Eriksen has issued a positive injury update following Manchester United's victory over Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final.
The 31-year-old was in attendance as United secured their first trophy in nearly six years thanks to a goal from Casemiro and an own goal from Sven Botman.
Eriksen had his left leg in a protective boot at Wembley but was no longer using crutches as he gets closer to a potential return before the end of the season.

The Denmark international was initially ruled out until April after he suffered an ankle injury in the FA Cup win over Reading a month ago.
There is still a lot of work to be done before Eriksen can think about returning to action, but following the Wembley win, he issued an update on his fitness.
"I am feeling well," he told MUTV. "It is always boring to be in a boot and to be on crutches, but I have left the crutches and am now only in a boot, and next week that should be gone then finally start learning to walk. But it feels good."
"It's been nice. Obviously, you want to play. Watching from the stands is more nerve racking than actually playing, but I kept my calm, and it is nice to see how happy they are. I am just happy that we won the game."
