There is minor ligament damage to his ankle but not as serious as it could have been.

Maguire has also suffered heavy bruising which has yet to go down but is able to walk without discomfort.

Sunsport yesterday revealed he looked certain to miss the final four Premier League games of the season.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will do everything possible to get Maguire ready for the May 26 final against the Spanish side in Poland.

Maguire missed Tuesday’s home game with Leicester but was seen in the stands at Old Trafford.

He will not feature in Thursday’s clash with Liverpool, against Fulham next Tuesday or versus Wolves on the final day of the Prem season on May 23.

Also, the scan results are good news for England boss Gareth Southgate who should have Maguire fit for Euro 2020.

England’s first match is against Croatia at Wembley on June 13.

Until Sunday, Maguire had played every minute in the Premier League for United since his £85million move from Leicester in 2019.
