The English centre-back missed the last two games.
When Manchester United face Brentford tonight, they will hope to have at least one senior centre back in the lineup once again.
Last time around, Michael Carrick’s Man United were without Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro, Lisandro Martinez, and Matthijs de Ligt as they beat Chelsea 1-0 in the league.
Martinez and Maguire were still serving their suspensions, and Yoro was hurt during training. Along with Patrick Dorgu, who is out due to a hamstring issue, De Ligt is still out due to a back injury.
Noussair Mazraoui, a natural right-back, started alongside Ayden Heaven in the centre of defence at Stamford Bridge.

Will Harry Maguire start tonight vs Brentford?
Every indication suggests that the answer is yes. Harry Maguire has completed his suspension and is now eligible to rejoin the team, Carrick confirmed in his pre-match conference.
The most important question is whether he immediately returns to the starting lineup, alongside Heaven. Maguire has been spotted in team training and is fit to start.
Harry Maguire recently inked a new deal with the team, and he will be keen to defend his faith in Ineos. Before the March international break, he and Yoro were Carrick’s first-choice central defensive duo, so their possible return would be a huge boost.
After Heaven’s outstanding performance, the left-sided centre-back position now appears to belong to the youngster.
At last, the protracted wait is over. Harry Maguire’s suspension controversy has come to an end after he missed two straight Premier League games, and his return could not have come at a better time.
The England centre-back is definitely back in the running as Manchester United get ready to meet Brentford at Old Trafford tonight. Manager Michael Carrick has confirmed that the defender is eligible for selection.
Harry Maguire’s return is nothing short of a catalyst for a team navigating a defensive crisis with one eye firmly fixed on a Champions League berth.
Why did Maguire not feature in the last two games?
He was suspended.
What time will the game start?
12:30 Uhr IST on 28 April.
