With his options further depleted by an injury to Marcos Rojo, the Red Devils boss is looking for his walking wounded to push for an early return
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is looking for Phil Jones and Chris Smalling to display their commitment to the cause by returning early from injury.
'Rooney has reached the end at Man Utd'
The Red Devils saw their defensive ranks further depleted on Thursday when Marcos Rojo picked up a knock during the Europa League quarter-final second leg with Anderlecht.
Daley Blind was able to cover at centre-half as Mourinho’s men booked their place in the semi-finals of that competition, but he is looking for Smalling and Jones to offer him a boost by making themselves available ahead of schedule.
