Manchester United will travel to Craven Cottage to face Fulham in the Premier League tomorrow.
The Red Devils have received a major triple boost ahead of the crucial clash.
Manchester Evening News report that Matthijs de Ligt, Leny Yoro and Noussair Mazraoui were pictured travelling with the squad to London via train from Stockport Station.
De Ligt was hooked off at half-time for Harry Maguire in the 2-1 win over Rangers.
Yoro was also taken off prematurely with Tyrell Malacia replacing him.
United manager Ruben Amorim had previously cast doubt on the involvement of the duo.
Mazraoui was notably left out of the previous matchday squad after taking a heavy knock against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Mazraoui and De Ligt could be named in the starting XI against the Cottagers tomorrow.
The Moroccan international could return to the right wing-back spot, allowing Amad Diallo to start as one of the numbers 10s behind the centre-forward.
Yoro could be named on the bench with Maguire taking the central birth in the back three defence.
Amorim has used Yoro wisely, allowing him to acclimatise to the rigors of the English top flight.
Every United player faces intense media scrutiny and it can be particularly harsh for a teenager like Yoro.
He could come off the bench for any of the three centre-backs in the second half.
Amorim would have faced a significant selection dilemma if the trio had not been fit for tomorrow’s crucial clash.
A win tomorrow would see the Red Devils climb to 11th in the Premier League table.
However, with already ten league defeats in the 2024/25 season, more losses could see them sliding into the bottom half of the table.
