Donny van de Beek has returned to training at Manchester United after six months out of action due to injury.
The Dutchman has not featured for United since January's 3-0 win over Bournemouth. It ended a frustrating season early for the attacking midfielder who only featured 10 times in Erik ten Hag's first campaign at the club.
Van de Beek underwent surgery on his knee problem and has been continuing his rehabilitation at United's Carrington training ground. In recent months, this has included individual training and drills with the ball during one-to-one sessions.
