Manchester United’s two-legged Champions League last sixteen tie against Sevilla gets underway tomorrow. Ahead of the eagerly anticipated fixture, Jose Mourinho has been given some huge injury boosts.
The official Twitter account posted photos of the lads in training, including Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Pogba had been out with an illness, Rashford a thigh problem and Ibrahimovic had seemingly re-injured the knee that kept him sidelined for around six months. However, having these three back provides Mourinho with options aplenty.

In Ibrahimovic’s case, I’d be extremely surprised if the veteran forward started the game in Seville. He’s been out for a few weeks now, and it’ll probably take him a handful of substitute appearances to get back up to speed before he’s ready to play matches from the off.
Rashford’s been in and out of the team recently, largely due to some excellent form coming from Anthony Martial. However, as a second-half sub, the man from Wythenshawe could have a huge impact on this fixture.
We all know what Pogba is capable of and I’d be surprised if the Frenchman didn’t start in a three-man midfield, likely alongside Nemanja Matic and Michale Carrick.
