MANCHESTER UNITED are set to play a behind-closed-doors friendly against Barnsley today.<\/p>\n
The Red Devils have arranged the game to help those coming back from injury and to maintain the fitness of players not away on international duty.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There was hope that Kobbie Mainoo would play but the match has reportedly come too soon for him as he recovers from an ankle issue.<\/p>\n
The 18-year-old midfielder picked up the problem while impressing in a 2-0 pre-season friendly defeat to Real Madrid in July.<\/p>\n
Mainoo has been training with the first-team squad in recent weeks and is expected back soon, claims The Daily Mail.<\/p>\n
He has three senior Man Utd appearances to his name.<\/p>\n
