Set to be available Sunday
Ugarte (back) trained with the group on Wednesday and is expected to be available for Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest, according to the club.
Analysis: Ugarte has a rotational role this season, having started eight of his 22 Premier League appearances, so his potential return is unlikely to significantly impact the starting XI, but it could provide additional midfield options for coach Michael Carrick.
Dealing with back issues
Ugarte picked up a back issue in training ahead of Saturday's trip to Sunderland and has been ruled out of the fixture, according to coach Michael Carrick. "Manu had a problem with his back in training, so that's the issues ironed out."
Analysis: Ugarte has mainly been operating as a bench option for Manchester United this season, so his absence had a limited impact on the starting lineup against the Black Cats. The club will assess his condition over the coming days before making a call on his availability for the remaining fixtures of the campaign.
