Here are your Thursday morning Manchester United headlines.

The pair have been ruled out of this week's Europa League play-off first leg with Barcelona but could return for the return leg against Barcelona and the League Cup final against Newcastle on February 26.

"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."

Luke Shaw admission

Luke Shaw believes Manchester United's players 'learned' from their shocking defeats against Brighton and Brentford.

After unexpected defeats against Brighton and Brentford in August, the optimism of the new Premier League season quickly disappeared and it felt like nothing had changed at Old Trafford, despite the appointment of Erik ten Hag from Ajax.

However, United responded to that poor start by winning four consecutive games, which included victories against Liverpool and Arsenal, and results have improved throughout the season, which has seen the club's fortunes transformed.

Ten Hag's side are currently third in the Premier League and United will also play in the Carabao Cup final later this month.
