From the source

Kobbie Mainoo is back under consideration for Manchester United’s clash with Chelsea. Michael Carrick has confirmed that Kobbie Mainoo has returned to training ahead of Manchester United’s showdown with Chelsea.

While Carrick could decide to play cautious and ease Mainoo back in from the bench, it would be far preferable to see the academy graduate back in as a starter.

Kobbie Mainoo was Manchester United’s best player in the 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge last season, dominating the midfield. He completed 93 per cent of his passes and made 12 defensive contributions.
