Manager Erik ten Hag announced before the international break that neither Casemiro nor Lisandro Martinez will return before Christmas.

However, Lisandro Martinez may return shortly.

The centre-back trained at Carrington, doing minimal work but progressing.

Lisandro Martinez on the way back

Lisandro Martinez changed appearance. The World Cup-winning defender has replaced his bleached blonde hair with his natural color.

A new look for a new start. It makes sense for ‘The Butcher’ to reset and rejoin Manchester United’s first team shortly.

While not in a full training session with the first squad, he interacted with teammates. He’s eager to return, and they’ll welcome him.

Double boost for Manchester United

Luke Shaw returned to first-team training, boosting Manchester United immediately.

The England international defender may play against Everton this weekend. The defense and attack will benefit from his arrival.

Shaw’s return is crucial, and Martinez should arrive in a few weeks.

Manchester United should not rush him back, we hope. The club’s medical staff will be especially cautious this time around because his injury aggravated the issue that ended his 2022/23 season.
