The 19-year-old midfielder was linked with a move to Juventus but, having featured in the Reds' last three games, is now back in the United fold.

Ferguson alsohas hailed Jonny Evans' contribution to the Unitedcause this season.
The Northern Ireland international has featured more often in central defence for United than any other player in this injury-ravaged campaign.
The 24-year-old even managed to score his first goal for the club in their five-goal hammering of Wolves at the weekend.
With Phil Jones and Chris Smalling available for Monday's Premier League encounter with Fulham at Old Trafford, Evans is facing renewed pressure for his first-team spot.
However, Ferguson seems certain to stick with Evans, whose ability helped make up ! United's mind to sell Gerard Pique to Barcelona in 2008.
"He's playing regularly and I think that helps," said Ferguson.
"He is still a young player of course and when they get runs of games it helps with their consistency.
"His partnership with Rio has been very good."
In fact, after Nemanja Vidic was ruled out for the remainder of the campaign with a knee injury, Ferguson believes Ferdinand has been a major influence on Evans.
"A lot of it has to do with Rio actually because he's really helped Jonny," said Ferguson.
"Jonny's always had terrific ability and it's good to see he's in consistent form."
