Manchester United will be bidding to end a successful 2021-22 Champions League group-stage campaign on a positive note when they welcome Young Boys to Old Trafford on Wednesday night.
The Red Devils have already advanced to the round of 16 as Group F winners, while Young Boys can still finish third but need to win in Manchester and hope that Atalanta BC lose to Villarreal.
Donny van de Beek and Dean Henderson are set to start for Manchester United against Young Boys match, today, Wednesday, 8th December 2021.
Raphael Varane, Edinson Cavani and Luke Shaw trained on the eve of the Champions League group game.
Having kicked off the Ralf Rangnick era with Sunday's 1-0 win against Crystal Palace, the Red Devils will return to Old Trafford on Wednesday already assured of finishing top of Group F.
United's injury issues appear to be alleviating ahead of Young Boys' visit, with defender Varane and striker Cavani pictured training with the group on Tuesday morning.
Shaw, who has been absent following recent blows to the head, was also training, as was Jesse Lingard having missed Sunday's game with an ankle complaint.
Rangnick intends to make changes against Young Boys but will select a side with the ability to avenge September's 2-1 loss in Switzerland.
"It definitely makes sense that we will rest a few players due to the crowded fixture list over the next few weeks and months," the United interim manager said.
We need to make sure that we have as many recovered players as possible, also for the Premier League. On the other end, of course, we need to keep the positive momentum and our ethos is to win games.
"Even we may be playing with a few new players or fresh players, it's still important that we win.
