The last time the Swede played was on December 11, against Norwich.
Then Nilsson Lindelöf was forced to step by just under half an hour into the second half, when he suffered from breathing problems.
After tests showed that there was no danger with Nilsson Lindelöf, he tested positive for covid-19, which meant that he missed three more matches.
Elanga on the bench
But tonight, when United play at home against Aston Villa in the third round of the FA Cup, Victor Nilsson Lindelöf is back from the start in Manchester United's central defense, next to Raphael Varane.
United's other Swede, 19-year-old Anthony Elanga, has a place on the bench.
The match starts at 21.00.
