Here's how Manchester United planning to ease Amad and de Ligt to the squad

With leagues and cup competitions reaching the business end across Europe, some teams are getting back their players from injury, while others are facing the eternal injury crisis, leading them into chaos. Amidst the injury unavailability at Manchester United in the ongoing campaign, they are inching closer to getting Amad and Matthijs de Ligt back into the first-team fold. The fans are excited about seeing these players return to action and want to know how the club is planning to ease Amad and de Ligt into action.

According to recent reports, Manchester United’s gaffer, Ruben Amorim is planning to get some game time for Amad and de Ligt with the fixture against Brentford. With the club playing the first leg against Bilbao in the midweek, they would want to give the first-team players the required break before heading to the second leg. With heavy rotation coming in, the expectation is that the Ivory Coast and Dutch internationals will feature in the game against the Bees. The report read: 

United hope to welcome back Amad and Matthijs de Ligt this week and use the Brentford fixture as an opportunity to give them game time 

Amad Diallo had suffered an ankle injury in February, and fans feared that the season had come to an end for the player. However, ahead of the recent Manchester Derby in the Premier League, Amorim was hopeful about getting the player back before the end of the season. He had said:

He’s doing quite well. We hope to have him before the season is finished. We'll see, but he's anxious to play, so we are waiting for him 

What next for Manchester United?

After the lackluster draw against 10-man AFC Bournemouth, Manchester United will face Athletic Bilbao in the semifinals of the UEFA Europa League. The Spanish outfit is inching closer to Champions League qualification via their top-five finish in the Spanish top flight, whereas Manchester United must win the competition to have any chance of securing a place in Europe.

Who is unavailable for Manchester United against Athletic Bilbao?

While Amad and Matthijs de Ligt remain doubtful, Diogo Dalot, Lisandro Martinez, Jonny Evans, and Joshua Zirkzee remain out of action for the Premier League outfit.
