Manchester United are expecting a host of injured players to make their returns this month but will not rush them back into the first-team, manager Louis van Gaal said ahead of Thursday's last-16 Europa League tie against bitter rivals Liverpool.

"... it is hard to see whether they can cope with the rhythm of the match... Basti, for example, has only one training session under his belt.
