Manchester United look set to be boosted by the return of skipper Gary Neville for Saturday's trip to Sheffield United.

The experienced full-back aggravated a long-running calf injury in last week's victory over Blackburn Rovers and was forced to pull out of the England squad for Wednesday's friendly draw in Holland.

However, Neville believes the problem is not as severe as was first thought and he has set his sights on an immediate return to action at Bramall Lane.

He told MUTV: "I feel okay. The injury is not as bad as I first thought.

"We will see how it goes in training but hopefully I will be in contention for this weekend."
