Manchester United<\/a> forward Matheus Cunha<\/a> has returned to training ahead of Thursday’s Premier League meeting with West Ham United<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cunha has not played since playing 72 minutes in the 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur on November 8 due to a head injury.<\/p>\n

In Cunha’s absence, Man United suffered a frustrating 1-0 home defeat to 10-man Everton, before they bounced back with a narrow 2-1 victory<\/a> in Sunday’s clash with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.<\/p>\n

That result moved the Red Devils up to seventh spot in the Premier League table<\/a> ahead of the midweek round of fixtures.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Man United receive Cunha fitness boost<\/p>\n

Man United boss Ruben Amorim<\/a> could welcome back one of his forwards for Thursday’s game against West Ham.<\/p>\n

Cunha shared a positive update on his Instagram story on Monday, posting a photo of himself in full training gear at Carrington, accompanied by the simple message, “Back, back, back.”<\/p>\n

The Brazilian’s social media update suggests that he should be available for the meeting with Nuno Espirito Santo<\/a>‘s side.<\/p>\n

However, it remains to be seen whether he will come into the starting lineup or play a role off the bench at Old Trafford.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Who are Man United’s injury concerns ahead of West Ham test?<\/p>\n

Man United captain Bruno Fernandes<\/a> took a knock in the win over Crystal Palace, although Amorim seemed unconcerned <\/a>by the issue when he spoke to the media after the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Defender Harry Maguire<\/a> remains a doubt for the home clash<\/a> after missing the last two matches with a thigh injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Benjamin Sesko<\/a> is continuing to work on his recovery from a knee injury he sustained in last month’s draw with Spurs.<\/p>\n

As for Lisandro Martinez<\/a>, he is likely to play a role in Thursday’s fixture after making his return from a long-term injury layoff with a substitute appearance against Palace.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United forward Matheus Cunha has returned to training ahead of Thursday’s Premier League meeting with West Ham…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":325726,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1083,1085,399,1080,427,349,1082,1084,1081,403,1079,99,1087,1086,428],"class_list":{"0":"post-325725","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-cycling","9":"tag-epl","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-formula-1","12":"tag-golf","13":"tag-nfl","14":"tag-olympics","15":"tag-premier-league","16":"tag-rugby","17":"tag-soccer","18":"tag-sport","19":"tag-sports","20":"tag-sports-mole","21":"tag-teams","22":"tag-tennis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/325725","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=325725"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/325725\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/325726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=325725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=325725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=325725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
