Manchester United handed massive injury boost ahead of Liverpool FA Cup clash
Manchester United are set to welcome back Rasmus Hojlund, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Harry Maguire for Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final clash against Liverpool.
Hojlund, who has scored 13 goals in his debut season at Old Trafford, has missed United's last four games across all competitions since suffering a muscle injury in the aftermath of last month's 2-1 win at Luton Town. Maguire has missed United's last four games, while full-back Wan-Bissaka has had a longer lay-off and has not featured since January.
However, Erik ten Hag has confirmed that the trio returned to training at the start of the week and are likely to feature at Old Trafford on Sunday.

He said: "We had a good week. All the players you mentioned [Maguire, Wan-Bissaka and Hojlund], they returned on the pitch. Partly in the start of the week and, today, we had a session that they were all training.
"I think [they're going to be available]. We have, tomorrow, one session. We have to see how they recover from this tomorrow. But it looks good."
United, though, will still be without several key players for Sunday's last-eight clash against the Reds, with Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Anthony Martial, Omari Forson, Mason Mount and Lisandro Martinez all out of action. Altay Bayindi and Jonny Evans will also miss the tie between the two bitter rivals.
Liverpool are also nursing an injury crisis of their own and will be unable to call on Ibrahima Konate, Diogo Jota, Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Curtis Jones, Thiago Alcantara and Joel Matip on Sunday.
