Big boost for Bilic

Slaven Bilic is set to for a much needed boost by welcoming four players back over the the next two weeks.

The manager claims Michail Antonio will be ready for the match aganst Southampton and that Kouyate, Lanzini and even Andy Carroll may be available for selection against Newcastle.

He said: “Michail Antonio should be back for the game against Southampton and then Cheikhou, Manuel and even Andy Carroll should be there for the game against Newcastle in the third game of the season, or latest after the international break which is after that game.

“All of them will be back very soon and we can talk about that, but we had a decent team out on Sunday and I expected more.”

And the encouraging news from the match at Old Trafford is that we suffered no injuries and despite a near year’s lay off Diafra Sakho came through with no problems whatsoever.
