England international Maguire missed United's 2-0 win over
Burnley last week which sealed their place in the League Cup
quarter-finals.
"We had some problems with illness like Harry Maguire, but he
was back on the training pitch (on Friday) so I'm happy with
that," manager Erik ten Hag told the club media.
Argentina defender Lisandro Martinez and France's Raphael Varane
are unavailable because they are yet to return after playing in
the World Cup final.
Ten Hag said the rest of the United players who played in Qatar
were in good spirits.
"(They had) massive impressions there, but now they are back,
and you feel their energy. They are looking forward to the
restart (of the Premier League)," he said.
"Rapha Varane and Licha Martinez, they are not there but we hope
on their comeback (soon)," he added.
United are fifth in the standings on 26 points after 14 matches,
three points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur who have
played a game more.
