Southampton handed huge boost before Premier League fixture with Manchester United
06.02.2022 - 00:46 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Southampton have been handed a huge selection boost ahead of their Premier League game against Manchester United on February 12.
Highly-rated teenager Tino Livramento has returned to training after missing several games either side of the New Year with a meniscus (knee) injury.
Enjoying a breakthrough season with the Saints, the right-back has been one of their top performers - earning lots of plaudits along the way.
Livramento, 19, has been absent for five matches in all competitions - including the draw against Manchester City - but is back in full-contact training for Southampton ahead of their FA Cup fourth round tie with Championship side Coventry on Saturday afternoon (3pm).
United are first up to the plate in the world-famous competition against Middlesbrough tonight.
After that, Ralf Rangnick and his team are set for a double-header in the Premier League which includes a meeting with Southampton on Saturday, February 12 at Old Trafford (12.30pm).
Between those two fixtures comes a short trip to Burnley on Tuesday night.
Southampton also take on Tottenham in midweek, giving Livramento plenty of chance for initial minutes before a potential return against the Old Trafford giants in eight days.

Will Smallbone (calf) is also on the comeback trail.
Speaking about Livramento to HampshireLive last month, manager Ralph Hasenhuttl said: "It will still take a little bit [of time] then until he is match fit, but I do not think it will take too long now until he can come back.
"The same with Will. We know that it was a serious muscle injury but, in the end, it will be the same."
