Manchester United midfielder Ander Hererra has revealed that he is "making steps" towards returning to match action in a video posted to social media on Wednesday.

The Spaniard limped out of United's Champions League draw with Sevilla last week, but appears hopeful of returning to first team involvement sooner rather than later.

So sad for not being able to help my team in the next few weeks. I will give my best to be fit as soon as possible. Thanks for your support messages 🔴 pic.twitter.com/OQ9kihqKTU

Speaking about the injury to Herrera, Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is quoted by the Manchester Evening News as saying: "Ander is out, I don't know the final diagnosis but I know he is out for a few weeks.

"I don't know how to say 'few', two, three, four, five or six, I don't know, but for a few weeks for sure."

Despite the lack of clarity over Herrera's return date, the Spaniard is expected to be absent for the Premier League clash with Liverpool a week on Saturday, as well as the return leg against Sevilla three days later.
