Manchester United injury update: Mazraoui, Garnacho, Diallo, Ugarte and Mainoo latest news and return dates

Manchester United have been given a triple injury boost ahead of their Premier League return against Brentford on Saturday.

Noussair Mazraoui, Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo are all available for United boss Erik ten Hag after withdrawing from international duty.

Manuel Ugarte faces a late fitness test but it isn’t good news on Kobbie Mainoo who has been ruled out for around a month with a hamstring problem.

He joins Harry Maguire on the sidelines, while Mason Mount, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Leny Yoro are still working their way back from injury.

Here is all the latest Manchester United injury news...

Noussair Mazraoui

Mazraoui took part in full training on Thursday just days after having minor heart surgery after reporting feeling palpitations during United’s 0-0 draw with Aston Villa.

He missed Morocco’s double-header with the Central African Republic but has returned sooner than expected for United.

“Mazraoui is good news,” Ten Hag said. “He has returned on the training pitch and is available tomorrow."

Garnacho has made a full recovery from the knee injury that saw him withdraw from the Argentina squad.

“I had knee problems in the last two matches, and I won't be able to be with the national team," he wrote on Instagram.

"But I hope to recover so I can be on the next date [against Paraguay and Peru in November].”

Mount missed United’s past two matches due to head and muscle injuries but is making “steady progress” in his rehabilitation.

The midfielder was forced off during United’s 3-0 defeat to Tottenham last month and then picked up another problem.

Potential return date: Sunday 27 October vs West Ham

Luke Shaw

Shaw hasn’t played for United yet this season after struggling with a calf injury, but is closing in on a return.

When asked about Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, Ten Hag said on Friday: “They are back but we can't force their return and have to do it cleverly.

“We don't want them to return and quickly drop out, but of course, we hope they come back as soon as possible because this team needs a left-full back."

Potential return date: Sunday 3 November vs Chelsea

Tyrell Malacia

Malacia has not played for United since May 2023 but is back in training ahead of his comeback.

The Netherlands international has endured nearly 18 months of injury hell after undergoing knee surgery.

But according to Dutch outlet Voetbal International, Malacia is almost fully fit and could make his long-awaited return at the end of this month or early next month.

Harry Maguire

The former United captain was forced off at the end of the first half at Villa Park and will be out for a few weeks.

“Kobbie and Harry are out for a couple of weeks,” Ten Hag said in his pre-match press conference on Friday.

Maguire had posted on Instagram: "Frustrated to pick up an injury at the weekend, will be a few weeks on the sidelines for me but I'll come back stronger," he stated on Instagram.

Potential return date: Sunday 10 November vs Leicester

Kobbie Mainoo

Mainoo has been ruled out for about a month with a hamstring injury he suffered in the goalless draw with Villa.

The midfielder withdrew from the England squad as a “precaution” prior to their games with Greece and Finland.

And Mainoo is now expected to miss United’s next seven games and return after the next international break next month.

Potential return date: Sunday 24 November vs Ipswich

Leny Yoro

United's big money summer signing from Lille is yet to make a competitive appearance for the club having been sidelined since July after sustaining a metatarsal injury during the pre-season friendly against Arsenal in the United States.

Following successful surgery, the 18-year-old is making good progress in his recovery with Ten Hag revealing last month: "Yes, he is doing very well.

"It is very pleasing that his rehab is going in the right direction and I expect him soon, but what I mean by soon, is that he is now in the right planning process. He is in the right spot and he will return as soon as possible into the squad and then the team training."
