Manchester United handed major injury boost as star returns for Champions League

Manchester United have been bolstered by the return of Matthijs de Ligt , who has been named in their travelling squad against Atletico Madrid . The Red Devils visit the La Liga outfit in the Champions League on Tuesday on matchday two of the league phase. Michael Carrick’s side got off to a winning return at Europe’s top table, beating minnows Sabah 4-0 at Old Trafford last time out. Now, they have been handed an additional boost, with centre-back De Ligt returning after almost a year out with a back problem that he picked up against Crystal Palace.
