Tyrell Malacia made his injury comeback after a 17-month spell on the sidelines, returning for Manchester United Under-21s against Huddersfield in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday.
The Netherlands international has not played since coming off the bench for his country against Croatia in the Nations League semi-final in June 2023.
Since that game, Malacia has had knee surgery twice in an attempt to solve an injury that had proved difficult to manage.
The 25-year-old made 39 appearances in all competitions for United after signing in the 2022-23 season, but has not featured for the first team since.
He played for 45 minutes in Huddersfield and was taken off at half-time, although it was a quiet night for him and he rarely got on the ball.
Malacia's return to competitive action coincided with the day that new head coach Ruben Amorim met some of United's senior players at the training ground.
Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, Leny Yoro, Kobbie Mainoo and Toby Collyer were all among the players he saw while doing their individual injury rehab.

These 3 Players are good but all are Injury Prone, Luke shaw, Mason mount, and Tyral Malacia . I feel Manutd need to let them go , and bring in Injury Free Players , we are a very big Team and we cannot afford to have Players on the Side lines when we need them Most .
Malacia is not an injury prone, he played 39 games in his first season, dey just discovered something in his kneel so he need to take some rest and have treatment

I think he needs to be let go if he can't overcome this injury. Man Utd is a club that gives pressure.
