Manchester United are back in Premier League action this weekend when they travel to Brentford on Saturday night.
Manchester United fans have got what they wanted with defender Tyrell Malacia

On Friday, Erik ten Hag provided an update on the left-back situation at Manchester United.
"In December, I had the talks internally, with the medical and performance," said Ten Hag. "They assured me they [Malacia and Shaw] will both be fit in January and so you will have two left full-backs. Then you have a third one [Reguilon], so I would always have to disappoint one full-back.
"We talk about one of my biggest frustrations, there. You can accept in a position that a player is not available, but when two players are not available over the course of the season, that is very frustrating, because that is also very difficult to catch up as a team.

"We dealt with it in the best way, but of course it is a disadvantage. In our left full-back position, we've had two injuries almost over the whole course of the season. I think Liverpool is a good example. Last year they had the same and they couldn't deal with it as well."
Ten Hag was asked about Tyrell Malacia and added: "I think it's going to be difficult for him to be available this season. He will fight, he's back on the pitch, but not in the team and the process had some setbacks for him. He's still going forward really slowly, and the season is coming to an end."
Luke Shaw sustained a muscle injury last month and Ten Hag said about him: "I think it's the same. Maybe for the last games of the season, but we don't expect him back this month or next."
The left-back fiasco has been a mess this season and it's difficult not to empathise with Ten Hag, who seemed to hint at frustration with his medical staff during his press conference.
