Paul Pogba has been pictured back in training for Manchester United, fuelling suggestions that the midfielder could be closing in on a return to first-team action.
The 28-year-old has not featured for the Red Devils since the start of November due to a thigh problem that he picked up while on international duty with France.
The midfielder's future at Old Trafford remains unclear, with his contract due to expire at the end of June, and there have been suggestions that Man United are prepared to let him leave on a free transfer.
Pogba could potentially be available for the 20-time English champions during a busy period, though, with the club currently competing on three fronts in the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.
Cristiano Ronaldo is also training with Man United ahead of Wednesday's clash with Brentford, suggesting that the Portugal international will be available to make his return from a hip problem against the Bees.
The Red Devils have only picked up one point from their last two league matches, losing to Wolverhampton Wanderers before playing out a 2-2 draw with Aston Villa. body check tags ::
