Manchester United return to Premier League action on Monday night aiming to keep their solid run going, and the mood around Old Trafford is much brighter than it was a few months back. United's recent form, plus the encouraging signs seen in training this week, has given fans a bit more hope.
SoftFootball recently reported on the positive sessions involving Joshua Zirkzee and Lisandro Martinez, who both trained with United youngsters as the squad settled back in after the break.
United's unbeaten streak has stretched to five matches, although the last two were nervy 2-2 draws at Nottingham Forest and Tottenham. In the Forest match, De Ligt's late header secured a point, and SoftFootball highlighted how the Dutch defender has barely missed a minute this season and continues to be a rock at the back.
