Manchester United winger Ashley Young recovered from a calf injury but isn't yet fit enough to feature in Sunday's derby against Manchester City, according to manager Louis van Gaal.

Young initially suffered the ailment prior to the international break after he was tackled by Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey, and missed United's subsequent matches against Everton and CSKA Moscow.

Luke Shaw (broken leg) and Paddy McNair (liver) also remain out, but midfielder Ander Herrera was cleared to play after receiving a blow to the ribs during the midweek Champions League fixture in Russia.
