Manchester United's injured players are set to return against Tottenham Hotspur.
UtdDistrict, a United news outlet, has released the squad list for the match against Tottenham, which was spotted as the team traveled to Old Trafford in Manchester, England on Thursday (ET).
Man United is scheduled to play Tottenham in the 21st round of the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) at Old Trafford, Manchester, England, at 1:30 a.m. on the 15th.
Things are not looking good for Manchester United this season. After a 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers in their opening game, they went downhill with a 0-2 defeat against Tottenham (2R). In their last four games in September, they won just one and lost three.
They seemed to rebound in November with three straight wins, but in their last seven games, they won two, drew one and lost four. Through 20 rounds, United have 10 wins, 1 draw and 9 losses with 31 points, good for ninth place in the Premier League. This puts them in a tough spot against Tottenham, who are coming off a 0-2 defeat in their last two rounds.
United's biggest problem this season has been injuries. Rafael Varane and Aaron Wan Bissaka have been sidelined since the beginning of the season, while Casemiro and Christian Eriksen are also out of the squad. Lisandro Martinez was also out for 10 weeks with a metatarsal injury.
However, there has been some good news for United recently. Ahead of today's game, United have seen a number of injured players return to training. Eriksen is back from illness and is expected to play, while Casemiro and Luke Shaw have also trained with the team recently.
For United, Martinez's return is the most welcome. United have changed center backs frequently this season, exposing a shaky back four. Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof have both been sidelined with injuries, and youth Willy 토토사이트 Kamwala started against West Ham United.
Martinez had his best season since joining United last season. His small stature put him at a disadvantage in aerial battles, but he was a key part of the buildup at the back. He also showed strength in tackling.
With Martinez on board, United will likely go with Baran and Martinez as their starting center backs, which was their best combination last season. Ahmad Diallo, Shaw and Marcus Rashford have not been seen at Old Trafford but are likely to feature.
