Luke Shaw could reportedly mark his return to first-team action on Wednesday when Manchester United take on Burton Albion in the third round of the EFL Cup at Old Trafford.
The England international has not featured in Jose Mourinho's team at all this season due to ligament damage that he suffered in April.
Shaw had been expected to feature in the Under-23s' match against Chelsea on Monday night, but according to The Mirror, the left-back was not included in the squad, leading to suggestions that he will get a runout on Wednesday evening.
The 22-year-old, whose dedication was publicly criticised by Mourinho last season, has played in the reserve team's last three matches in order to build up his fitness.
Shaw made 11 Premier League appearances in the 2016-17 campaign.
