Made his return from injury in the same game as Jones but was at fault for one of the goals conceded then. Also played the whole 90 minutes against Spurs and Southampton but generally looked rustier compared to his England compatriot, highlighted by a couple of nervy moments in all of the games. Missed training prior to United’s penultimate game of the season and was missing from the matchday squad. Slight chance to start in Stockholm.

Chance to start: 6/10
