"Everyone knew how tough a task the 40-year-old had on his hands when he took over a month ago, and you do still feel a lot will have to change at Old Trafford over the next couple of years for Manchester United. Casemiro, Harry Maguire and Tyrell Malacia are the next trio to be out of contract in the summer, and the futures of Diogo Dalot, Andre Onana, Rasmus Hojlund, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford all need resolving."
"With defender Luke Shaw putting together a solid run of games, his position at left centre-back, you feel, is probably the one that is perhaps the most likely to be threatened by the news of Lisandro Martinez's impending return. The Argentine international has been out of action for Manchester United since February, after rupturing his ACL against Crystal Palace last season at the Theatre of Dreams."
"But after photos confirmed his Carrington return just last week, the former Ajax man is closing in on a return to first-team action, with FourFourTwo understanding that Martinez could be back for United's first game after the November international break. Head coach Amorim has stressed the importance 'Licha' can have in his Manchester United team moving forward, and with Matthijs de Ligt and Maguire impressing already this term, you do feel it could be Shaw who is"
Manchester United have begun to show consistency, going unbeaten in four Premier League matches amid a lighter fixture schedule without cup or European games. Head coach Ruben Amorim has implemented a three-at-the-back system and is integrating new tactics. Several senior players face contract uncertainty, including Casemiro, Harry Maguire and Tyrell Malacia, while futures of Diogo Dalot, Andre Onana, Rasmus Hojlund, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford require resolution. Luke Shaw has produced a solid run at left centre-back, but Lisandro Martinez is nearing a comeback after an ACL rupture and could challenge Shaw for the position.
