Marcus Rashford will return to the Manchester United squad for Monday night's home game against Newcastle.
Rashford has been excluded from United's matchday squad for the last four games by Ruben Amorim, sparking much debate over the striker's future.
However, as reported by Manchester Evening NewsRashford was seen arriving with the United team at Old Trafford before the game against Newcastle.
United have a depleted squad for the match, with Mason Mount, Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw among those injured, while Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte are suspended.
Rashford's last appearance for United was on December 12 when he played 56 minutes against Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League.
He was left out of the squad for the games against Manchester City, Tottenham, Bournemouth and Wolves.

Rashford, who has spent his entire career at United, indicated he wanted a new challenge after being left out.
Speaking to journalist Henry Winter, Rashford said: “For me personally, I think I'm ready for a new challenge and the next steps.”
'When I leave there will be no hard feelings.' You're not going to get any negative comments from me about Manchester United. That's me as a person.
'If I know a situation is already bad, I'm not going to make it worse.
'I've seen other players leave in the past and I don't want to be that person. When I leave I will make a statement and it will be mine.'
These comments led Amorim to question the player's environment.
“It's a difficult situation,” Amorim said. “I understand that these players have a lot of people around them and sometimes they make decisions that are not the player's first idea. I understand that, I can separate things.
“I'm always here to help Marcus, like any other player.
Amorim questioned Rashford's entourage after the striker said he is ready for a new challenge.
'They have to do what they have to do. They chose to do the interview because it's not just about Marcus. I understand.'
Rashford, whose contract with United runs until the summer of 2028, has made 426 appearances for the club and scored 138 goals.
United are currently languishing in 14th place in the Premier League and are eager to improve their form.
After the game against Newcastle, United will play league leaders Liverpool on Sunday.
