Going into the final stages of the season, the mood at Manchester United couldn’t be any better than what it is right now.
Not only did the 4-3 victory over Liverpool in the FA Cup provide so much enjoyment and entertainment at the time, but it’s still being replayed by the fans a week later, with the game uniting the entire club.
The result has most definitely handed Erik ten Hag some breathing room until the end of the season, and with the return of some key players from injury, it seems that everything is falling into place for a strong finish.
However, the boss was still awaiting the availability of one individual for that game, who could have a huge impact on United’s chances of success this season.
The latest on Lisandro Martinez’s injury
It’s been a difficult spell for Lisandro Martinez over just shy of the last year, with an injury suffered last season most definitely hindering his progress this time around.
The number six has only started seven Premier League games this campaign, with another setback linked to the injury last April making him miss a huge 22 matches from September to January.
Martinez made his first league start on his return against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 4-3 victory, and he was also included in the starting lineup three days later against West Ham United, where he picked up another unfortunate setback, making him miss a further ten matches.
Nonetheless, the 26-year-old has been involved in training on grass with the Argentine national team this week, but he has since returned to Manchester to prepare for a potential return against Brentford, which will be extremely welcomed.
