The United States team thinks that Luke Shaw and Lisandro Martinez will be able to play against Newport in the FA Cup.
The left-back and Harry Maguire both went back to training before United’s trip to South Wales in the fourth round. Before that, they had a two-week break for the winter.
Defensemen Martinez and Casemiro, both from Argentina, are likely to be in the running after being on the bench for the draw with Tottenham earlier this month.
As the FA Cup is the Red Devils’ last chance to win a trophy this season, Erik ten Hag is likely to put together a strong team to play the League Two club.
Anthony Martial starts his ten-week layoff after surgery on his thigh. Mason Mount, Victor Lindelof, and Tyrell Malacia are also out because they are hurt.
Ten Hag will give goalie Altay Bayindir his long-awaited start after joining United last summer. This is because both Andre Onana and Sofyan Amrabat have made it to the knockout stages of the Africa Cup of Nations.
Marcus Rashford and Jonny Evans, on the other hand, have been sick lately.
Ten Hag told the press before the game, “He’s been waiting for his chance, but he is experienced. He played for a big club in Turkey under a lot of pressure, so he knows how to deal with it.”
“So we’re excited about Sunday.” Alay has been waiting for this moment, and now it’s here.
Hoped for Man United’s starting eleven is Bayindir, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Shaw, Casemiro, Mainoo, Garnacho, Fernandes, Antony, and Hojlund.
