News:Manchester United gear up for West Brom clash as Ashley Young and Marouane Fellaini train freely after injuries

Manchester United's players were put through their paces on Friday as they went through their preparations for Monday's clash against West Brom at The Hawthorns, and looked to be in decent shape. 
Ashley Young, who has been out since August because of groin and pelvis problems looked sharp in the session, as did Marouane Fellaini who came on against Everton in the Red Devils' last match after being sidelined through injury.
The United stars returning from international duty also looked to be fully fit, as the likes of Robin van Persie, Angel di Maria and Daley Blind all lifted heavy weights and went through their stretches.

Manager Louis van Gaal will be relieved that his players have returned unscathed from international duty, especially given his injury list.
Ander Herrera, Phil Jones and Michael Carrick have been out injured, and the Dutch boss can ill-afford any more problems.
Monday's trip to West Brom presents United with the chance to build on the two consecutive victories that moved them up to fourth place in the Premier League prior to the international break.
