Luke Shaw and Ashley Young are set to return to action for Manchester United's U23s on Monday night.

Shaw has not featured for United since last season's Premier League match against Saturday's opponents Swansea City on April 30 after suffering ligament damage in his foot.

Young also saw his season cut short after suffering a hamstring injury in United's Europa League semi-final first leg against Celta Vigo on May 4.

Both players returned to full training last week and will make a return to action against Swansea on Monday evening.

"It is like a pre-season match for them. But it is good news because, when they can play with the U23s, it is because the last week they trained with us all week so they are both coming [back]."
