MANCHESTER UNITED have been boosted by returns to training for Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro and Diogo Dalot ahead of tomorrow’s Europa League final.
The trio could be back in contention to feature against Tottenham in Bilbao, having been severe injury doubts.
Zirkzee, 23, was expected to miss the remainder of the season after suffering a hamstring injury against Newcastle on April 13.
But the Dutchman has surprisingly returned to training, bolstering boss Ruben Amorim’s forward options.
Amorim, 40, had previously ruled Zirkzee out for the season.
The Portuguese said of the forward: “He’s not going to play more this season. Let’s prepare him for the next one.

The Frenchman, 19, could now be in contention to feature having been deemed fit enough to return to full training.
