Manchester United have been handed a big boost ahead of their crunch domestic tie against Liverpool on Sunday.

In what will be a rollercoaster FA Cup round-16 matchup on Sunday, the Red Devils will lock horns with Liverpool for a place in the last four of the competition.

Ahead of the cracker, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed the return of the trio of Ramus Holjund, Harry Maguire, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

The three players have been on a lengthy injury layoff, missing weeks of action for United but are now back to the turf.

Confirming their return, ten Hag confirmed;

"We had a good week. The players you mentioned (Hojlund, Maguire, and Wan-Bissaka) returned on the pitch, partly at the start of the week and today they had a session and are all training. I think [they will be fit to play]. Tomorrow we have one session. We have to see how they recover from this but it looks good."

Conversely, Liverpool are battling with a niggling injury crisis with key first-team players ruled out of action.

Leading Liverpool's injury list ahead of the Man United clash is England right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, including Ben Doak, Curtis Jones, Diogo Jota, Allison Becker, and others.

Speaking ahead of the match Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Ibrahim Konate will miss the clash while Mo Salah and Ryan Gravenberch will be ready for action.

Both Liverpool and Manchester United have been unlucky this season with scores of their top players sidelined. However, the two sides are at the opposite ends on the fortunes table this season.

Jurgen Klopp has made light of Liverpool's heavy injury crisis, pushing for a historic quadruple with his available squad while Manchester United have struggled for consistency with the injury-stricken squad.
