The international break is currently ongoing, with players from both Manchester clubs on duty.
The Red Devils will be hoping the injuries of Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount aren’t too serious and to have them back in time for the derby.
CentreDevils exclusively revealed that Matheus Cunha is currently doing light upper body training.
The extent and exact type is still not known.
Lisandro Martinez is currently doing grass training on his own as he steps up his recovery too.
Senne Lammens is set to have his first group training session with his new team next week.

According to BBC Sport, defender John Stones has withdrawn from the England squad for the next two World Cup qualifiers because of injury.
This will certainly rule him out for the Manchester Derby next week.
England manager Thomas Tuchel says he does not want to take any risks with the 31-year-old, who arrived at the training camp with a “muscular issue” that has not improved.
Stones has started all three of Manchester City’s Premier League games this season.
Tuchel said, “He came with minor issues and didn’t progress as we thought and hoped he would, so he left camp this morning.
“Everyone else is available. We had 21 players yesterday in training and 21 players today in training and hopefully we can make sure everyone is available for tomorrow.”
The manager referenced the Manchester City defender could be a number six option as England are without a natural player of that type in the squad.
Tuchel is now going to have to hope the muscular issues that forced Stones to pull out are not too serious and he will be available for his squad in October.
This will be a huge miss for Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
