But the best piece of news comes courtesy Fabrizio Romano, who has claimed that Amad could be set to return earlier than scheduled.

It was a hammer blow for Ruben Amorim when the Ivorian suffered an ankle injury in training and as per initial reports, the 22-year-old was set to be out for the season.
He was the head coach’s most potent attacking weapon, registering nine goals and seven assists this season while impressing with his versatility and creativity.
Earlier than anticipated Amorim had utilised him both as a No 10 and wingback and the Ivory Coast international had passed with flying colours in both positions.
Recently, the Portuguese admitted that the ex-Atalanta starlet could be back before the season ends while the player himself offered a cryptic hint recently.
Now it seems the news is true with Amad progressing well in his rehabilitation and is set to return a lot earlier than anticipated.
If United survive the Europa League quarter-final test against Olympique Lyon in April, the versatile star’s return would be a huge boost for the club in May.
