Sakho in anxious wait

Diafra Sakho is anxiously awaiting a decision on whether he will travel with the squad to Manchester on Sunday or be involved in the Under 23s opening Division One fixture against Everton on Friday night.

Sak came through an hour of his first game in months for the under 23s against Spurs in the behind closed doors 3-2 victory last Saturday.

Under 23s boss Terry Westley said: “It was very competitive and he was in with energetic kids who were tearing around. Given this was his first run out for a long time he did well and suffered no setbacks and looked fine afterwards..”

It’s unlikely he will get the call for Manchester United but the it remains top news the guy is fighting and working hard to make his comeback.

Winston Reid – having been suspended from the final friendly of pre-season against Manchester City – also had a 70 minute run out in the Spurs game and looks set for Old Trafford after again coming through with no setbacks.
