Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag has said that Raphael Varane, Sergio Reguilon and Sofyan Amrabat are all available for Saturday's Premier League clash with Sheffield United.
Varane was missing against Brentford before the international break due to a minor issue, but having retired from France duty, he has been able to recover from the problem over the last two weeks.
The 30-year-old is therefore in contention to start against the Blades, while Reguilon should feature at left-back, with the Spaniard recovering from a hamstring issue.
The on-loan Tottenham Hotspur defender has missed Man United's last four games in all competitions, but he trained on Thursday and will be fit to take to the field against the side at the bottom of the division.
Man United were handed an injury concern surrounding Amrabat when he was unable to feature for Morocco during the international break due to a fitness issue.

The on-loan Fiorentina midfielder also trained on Thursday, though, and Ten Hag confirmed on Friday that he would be available for the team's next league game.
Amrabat's availability is even more important for the Red Devils considering that Casemiro will be absent due to a minor issue that he picked up while representing Brazil.
"Rapha Varane is back, so I think, especially in the backline, I'm very happy with Rapha back and Sergio back," Ten Hag told MUTV on Friday.
"That's very good news, of course. It's disappointing that Casemiro picked up an injury but it's not too bad. I'm sure and confident he will be back for the next games, so very short notice. The good thing is also that Sofyan Amrabat is available."

Man United have struggled at left-back in Reguilon's absence, with Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia also on the sidelines for the 20-time English champions.
Amrabat had been playing in that position before Victor Lindelof shifted across from his usual centre-back spot against Brentford before the international break.
Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans played in the middle against the Bees, but it is likely that the pair will be back on the bench for the contest with Sheffield United.
In addition to Casemiro, Shaw and Malacia, Jadon Sancho remains absent due to his ongoing stand-off with Ten Hag, while Lisandro Martinez, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Kobbie Mainoo and Amad Diallo are also out due to injury problems.
