The Premier League returns after two weeks of international break and Manchester United will host Queens Park Rangers in the next league fixture at Old Trafford on September 14.

Before the start of the last fixture against Burnley, the Red Devils manager Louis van Gaal admitted that he is without the services of 11 players, who were either sidelined with injury or ineligible to start for the 20-times English champions.

The fixture against QPR will see several of the first team players return to training from injury. In addition to this, summer signing Marcos Rojo is now allowed to play for United after he was granted a UK work permit earlier this month.

The Argentine international was signed from Sporting Lisbon and prior to his arrival, United had signed Ander Herrera and Luke Shaw. The two were on the sidelines due to injury and they joined Rafael da Silva, Chris Smalling, Michael Carrick, Marouane Fellaini, Sam Johnstone and Jesse Lingard on the treatment table.

Van Gaal will be handed a massive injury boost as several of the first team players have confirmed their return to training. Summer signing Herrera picked up an ankle injury and was out of action after Swansea tie. He has confirmed his return on Twitter on Monday.

Herrera tweeted, “Training hard and looking forward to this next game at Old Trafford!”
