The 23-year-old got a knock in the Elephants’ stalemate against Mali in their 2018 World Cup qualifying fixture on October 6 which has made him miss two Premier League games and a Uefa Champions League fixture against Benfica.
His boss at Old Trafford looks forward to the defender’s return when the Red Devils visit Swansea City for their English League Cup fixture on Tuesday or in their Premier League encounter against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
Mourinho initially said that United had been affected by having to travel to play Benfica in the Champions League in midweek, while Huddersfield had a whole week to prepare for the game.
