Leny Yoro has still not made his senior debut for Manchester United following his £52million move from Lille in July.
The highly-rated central defender fractured his metatarsal during a pre-season clash with Arsenal in the USA.
He has since been sidelined for more than three months but he could be set to make his Red Devils debut on Sunday under new manager Ruben Amorim.
United’s first game of the Amorim era will be away at Ipswich and it is understood that Yoro is in contention to feature.
Yoro has trained under Amorim all week and was seen playing alongside Luke Shaw and Jonny Evans at the back of a 3-4-3 formation during a practice game.
According to the Sun, Yoro was originally due to feature for United’s U21s against Altrincham on Tuesday before Amorim decided to withdraw him from that matchday squad.
Amorim’s decision to stop Yoro playing for the U21 side – which went on to beat Altrincham 4-0 thanks to an Ethan Ennis hat-trick and a goal from Amir Ibragimov – is widely seen as an indication that the 19-year-old is ready for first-team action.
