Manchester United's D'Mani Mellor joins first-team training after injury return

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has included D'Mani Mellor in Manchester United first-team training.

After making a full return from a serious ACL knee injury that he sustained in November - Mellor admitted at the time he was facing 'a long recovery' ahead - the 20-year-old was pictured at the Reds' first-team training at Carrington on Wednesday morning.

Mellor was held in high regard in the club's academy ranks and played alongside Mason Greenwood in the youth system.

The Manchester-born lad was enjoying an impressive season before his injury, too, scoring four goals and creating six assists from 14 appearances for United's U23s and first-team stars aplenty sent Mellor messages of support when he was condemned to the sideline.

Now, with Mellor taking part in United's first-team training on Wednesday, it's clear he's still very popular among his peers.

Former academy teammate Greenwood was quick to post on social media with Mellor while Jesse Lingard did the same.
