Valencia, Rojo return to Manchester United training

Manchester United‘s South American duo of Antonio Valencia and Marcos Rojo have both resumed first-team training ahead of tomorrow night’s Europa League encounter against FC Midtjylland.

Versatile Ecuadorian Valencia has been out of action since the Manchester derby in late October with a foot injury.

As for Argentine defender Rojo, he has not featured for the Red Devils this year following surgery on his dislocated shoulder.

However, their presence at today’s session has resulted in suggestions that the pair are nearing a return to action.

In more negative news for manager Louis van Gaal, neither goalkeeper David de Gea nor defender Chris Smalling were involved.
