Manchester United defenders Diogo Dalot and Marcos Rojo have both hinted that they are ready to return from their respective injuries.

Dalot completed a £19million move from Porto to United at the beginning of June, agreeing to a five year contract at Old Trafford, but a serious knee problem has kept the 19-year-old on the sidelines so far this campaign.

The Portugal Under-21 international was seen on crutches shortly after his arrival in England and played no part on the Red Devils pre-season tour of the United States.

However, it appears Dalot is on the brink of being available for the first time at United and the right-back has dropped a social media hint over his fitness.

Dalot tweeted an emoji which read back soon on Wednesday afternoon in the lead-up to the sides clash with Tottenham.

Meanwhile, Rojo, who sustained a knock during Argentinas World Cup campaign, also confirmed hes preparing to join up with his team-mates imminently.

Not long now, Rojo told his followers on Instagram.

Asked for an update on Dalots recovery back in July, Jose Mourinho replied: Dalot is injured, we knew he was injured, a small injury, a small surgery.

Hes recovering really well, I think he can start training when we come back to England.

He wont be ready for the start of season but ready I think for September.
