‘Manchester United youngster Danny Webber will return to Old Trafford on Monday after dislocating his shoulder on loan at Watford. Webber has been a big hit with the Hornets in his second spell at Vicarage Road but his expected six-week lay-off runs beyond his loan spell and Watford boss Ray Lewington does not expect the youngster to return.

"Danny's spell with us is finished now," said Lewington. "His loan period is almost over and he will come in and say goodbye to us on Monday. He has been magnificent for us and I will be sorry to see him go. He will be welcome back here any day. He is a nice lad as well as a top-quality professional.
"His injury will keep him out for a minimum of six weeks and United would say no to letting us have him on a long-term loan."

Webber suffered the injury late in the first half of Watford's 1-0 home win over Sheffield Wednesday when he fell awkwardly following a collision with defender Stephen Haslam.
