Manager Erik ten Hag broke the bad news that neither Casemiro nor Lisandro Martinez would return before Christmas before the international break.

However, there is a chance that Lisandro Martinez will return rather quickly in this instance.

Even if the center-back was just performing light work during his training at Carrington, it was still a step forward.

Lisandro Martinez on the way back

Lisandro Martinez appeared in photos with a fresh appearance. The World Cup-winning defense has grown out his natural hair color in place of bleached blonde hair.

Redesigned for a fresh beginning. Given that “The Butcher” wants to start again and get back into the Manchester United starting lineup as soon as possible, it makes sense.

He was observed conversing with his teammates even though he did not participate in a full training session with the first squad. They will be happy to have him back around the place, and he is obviously keen to get involved again.

Double boost for Manchester United

Manchester United experienced an instant advantage when Luke Shaw returned for the first team’s training session.

The defender for the England national team will be considered for selection for this weekend’s match against Everton. He will provide the defense—and the attack, too—a much-needed boost.

Shaw’s return at this time is very beneficial, and Martinez should be here in a few weeks.

We do hope Manchester United doesn’t bring him back too quickly. The ailment was a recurrence of the issue that ended his 2022–2023 season, so this time the team’s medical personnel would be extra cautious.
