Man Utd suffered an injury scare to Marouane Fellaini but the Belgian player could be fit for the fixture vs Stoke.
.
Marouane Fellaini could be fit for Manchester United's trip to Stoke on Saturday after he missed Belgium's World Cup qualifying win over Gibraltar.
The 29-year-old sat out the 9-0 thrashing on Thursday night with a 'minor injury' but could return to the Red Devils' matchday squad in Greece on Sunday evening
Belgium coach Roberto Martinez gave an update on the United midfielder's fitness ahead of their qualifier in Piraeus.
"I was talking about Marouane this morning," Martinez said on Saturday.
"He is sharp, fit and eager. That’s a boost with a view to Greece.
"Fellaini enjoyed a positive August with United even though he started their four fixtures on the bench.
He sparked an improvement during the Super Cup defeat to Real Madrid and emerged late on in the 4-0 strolls against West Ham and Swansea.
The former Everton man then opened his account with the clincher against Leicester in last week's 2-0 win to help maintain United's 100 per cent Premier League record.
Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford have also scored after coming on this season.
