Manchester United has an enormous game on their hands this match week. The side will be up against the high-flying Aston Villa, who has taken the Premier League by storm this season. Unai Emery’s men are currently placed fourth in the league standings with forty-six points to their name. The last game between the two clubs saw the Red Devils pick up a 3-2 win. However, things are not the same. United will be missing some of their star players and have to perform at their highest level to stop Villa’s impressive winning streak.

Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag addressed the media during his press conference last night, providing updates on his squad. The Dutchman also gave an update on Lisandro Martinez‘s status after the defender was forced off the field following a rough injury against West Ham United last week. With the Red Devils set to a tour to Villa Park this Sunday, here are all the updates you need before the game.

Lisandro Martinez: Martinez made his triumphant return from an extended ankle injury this year. However, it didn’t take long for the return to develop into a nightmare. The Argentine suffered a rough knee injury during the team’s clash against West Ham last week. While the player did get up on his feet, he had to be taken off the field for further tests. Head coach Erik ten Hag provided an update on Martinez during his press conference, confirming the Argentine would be out for at least two months.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka: While the player returned to the team’s training last week, it seems Wan-Bissaka is yet to reach 100% fitness. Erik ten Hag commented on the player’s situation while addressing the media, stating, “Aaron Wan-Bissaka today was training, but then he dropped out. So I don’t know at this moment where he is and what is the diagnosis. Hopefully, he is not too bad.”

While soccer was never my first love, I never realized when I turned into an avid fan who jumps at every missed goal-scoring opportunity. I'm a passionate Borussia Dortmund fan despite my side not lifting the league title in the last twelve years. I love to talk about tiny aspects of the game, discussing every little detail.
