Having originally picked up a hamstring injury in a pre-season friendly against Valencia, Johnson aggravated it when making his comeback appearance as a substitute in the defeat to Stoke on September 10. The England international has not featured since, but now has his sights set on United's visit to Anfield on October 15. "I'm feeling good at the moment and I've been doing plenty of running," Johnson told the Reds' official website.. "I've just started doing ball work outside in training so I reckon it won't be too long now. "I'm working hard and it would be nice to be back in the squad for the Man United game. Hopefully I can make the bench anyway, so fingers crossed."
