Manchester United handed major Paul Pogba boost as five players set to return vs AC Milan

Manchester United hope to have David de Gea, Donny van de Beek, Edinson Cavani, Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial back for their Europa League last-16 second-leg vs AC Milan.

United are set to be greatly boosted as they travel to Italy in midweek for the second-leg of their last 16 tie having drawn 1-1 at Old Trafford on Thursday night.

Solskjaer's side prepared for a crucial week in their season with a 1-0 win over West Ham and the United manager is hoping to have plenty of players back for their crucial European tie.

De Gea will be available for selection after a period of self-isolation following his return from Spain, while there could also be a quartet of injury boosts as well.

Pogba has been sidelined since February 6 with a thigh injury and Van de Beek has missed the last seven games with a muscular injury.

Juan Mata has also been unavailable for the last three weeks with an unspecified injury while Cavani and Martial have both had recent spells on the sidelines.

Solskjaer said: "Injury-wise I hope we have four or five players back for that game [against Milan], very likely Edinson and Anthony are fit, Donny as well, Paul might make the trip and David is back from isolation, that's more numbers, today we had two goalkeepers on the bench so we need them back."
