Player Gary Neville hopes to return to the field in the upcoming Premier League match against Charlton next Saturday.
The 30-year-old English defender is regaining strength after hernia surgery, which kept him out of the game since August.
Nevertheless, the following Monday he may participate in a friendly match with Burton Albion team, set to commemorate the official opening of the Pirelli Stadium.
"This week I started training seriously and hope to be in proper shape for the Charlton game," said G. Neville.
G. Neville's return is a great boost for Manchester United's head coach Sir Alex Ferguson, who had to start the season without his stars.
It is likely that Gabriel Heinze will miss the entire season after tearing his cruciate ligament, while Roy Keane, Quinton Fortune, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are also injured and currently unable to help their team on the field.
