Jose Mourinho handed huge injury boost as FOUR Man Utd stars return to squad

A quartet of key players are set to return to action for Manchester United in Monday night’s clash with Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford.
Nemanja Matic, Ander Herrera and Antonio Valencia all picked up injuries in pre-season, while Alexis Sanchez missed the Red Devils’ last outing against Brighton – though all four have reported for duty.
As usual, United’s matchday squad reported to the Lowry Hotel in Manchester prior to kick-off, and Matic, Herrera, Valencia and Sanchez were all in club gear.
Sanchez is the only player of that quartet to have featured for United so far this season, starting on the opening day of the season against Leicester City.
The Chilean had a small niggle but has been back in training all week, while Herrera may be left on the bench due to the promising form of Andreas Pereira, summer signing Fred and Paul Pogba in midfield.

Man Utd confirmed squad at the Lowry

Goalkeepers: David de Gea, Lee Grant
Defenders: Antonio Valencia, Matteo Darmian, Chris Smalling, Victor Lindelof, Phil Jones, Ashley Young, Luke Shaw
Midfielders: Nemanja Matic, Scott McTominay, Fred, Andreas Pereira, Jesse Lingard, Ander Herrera, Juan Mata, Paul Pogba, Marouane Fellaini
Forwards: Marcus Rashford, Romelu Lukaku, Alexis Sanchez
Matic is expected to be very rusty, having missed pre-season to undergo abdominal surgery, while Antonio Valencia left the club’s pre-season tour of the United States with a calf problem.
The Ecuadorian is United’s first-choice right-back and could be drafted straight back into the starting XI against Spurs.
Sanchez is also likely to start, with Anthony Martial having struggled in his absence on the left wing in the defeat to Brighton at the Amex.
The French winger was somewhat surprisingly absent as the players made their way to the Lowry, as was centre-back Eric Baily, while Ashley Young and Luke Shaw both arrived at the hotel on Sunday night.

Jurgen Klopp storms onto pitch and rages at Liverpool star after Chelsea lows

Jurgen Klopp  made a beeline for summer signing Xherdan Shaqiri and gave him some animated feedback on his performance in Liverpool’s defeat to Chelsea on Wednesday evening. The Reds took a second-half lead at Anfield in the Carabao Cup through Daniel Sturridge, but were stung late on by a tap-in from full-back Emerson before  Eden Hazard scored an incredible solo goal to put the visitors into the next round. At full-time, Klopp exchanged pleasantries with Maurizio Sarri and the Chelsea bench, but then walked onto the pitch to seek out Shaqiri. The Swiss star had a rather frustrating evening, wasting a number of chances on the break as Chelsea pushed for an equaliser, and Klopp seemed furious with his winger. He stormed past other Liverpool players and shouted at Shaqiri, appearing to admonishing him for some mistakes he made during the match. Klopp gesticulated and pointed wildly, though did shake hands with Shaqiri – who was listening to his manager intently – to
