Manchester United have welcomed back several first team players from injury recently, with Tyrell Malacia and Mason Mount likely next in line. Both are back training on the grass individually now, so it won’t be long until they join up with the rest of the squad. They may not be in the matchday at Aston Villa on Sunday.
As for Lisandro Martinez, he seriously hurt his knee in the West Ham win last weekend, and he’ll now be on the shelf eight weeks. More on that here.ย

By the way did you see this video above about the Glazers? And their very strange travel habit?
They demand that every hotel they stay in wash their sheets with a specific detergent. Must be nice to be that wealthy, when you also happen to be very neurotic.
Moving on, Anthony Martial remains sidelined, as he continues rehabilitation on his groin injury. We won’t see him again until April, and maybe never again after May.
Elsewhere Sofyan Amrabat is back from AFCON, with Morocco having been eliminated. Finally, Aaron Wan-Bissaka is expected to be back in the mix here.
