Harry Maguire admits he has still not returned to training with Manchester United as defender continues recovery from a calf injury suffered against Aston Villa last month... but declares he will be 'back on the pitch soon'

Manchester United's defensive crisis shows little sign of easing after captain Harry Maguire admitted he has still not returned to training following a calf injury.

The centre-back picked up the problem in the 1-0 defeat by Aston Villa last month, leading to him not being selected in the England squad having also been forced to miss United's games against Everton and Villarreal in the Premier League and Champions League respectively.

Since then the 28-year-old has been under rehabilitation at United's training ground in Carrington.
