Before their encounter against Aston Villa, Manchester United will be without Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia, Mason Mount, and Anthony Martial due to injuries.

On Sunday afternoon (4.30pm), Manchester United will face Aston Villa in the Premier League, and five players could sit out the encounter. With two consecutive victories under their belts, Erik ten Hag and company are getting ready to travel to Villa Park in an effort to cut into the lead for a Champions League spot.

In fourth place, Villa is now six points ahead of United. But United came out on top in the Boxing Day match at Old Trafford, thanks to a sensational comeback by Rasmus Hojlund, who helped his team overcome a two-goal deficit.

Among the teams that have struggled with injuries this season, United have taken the worst damage. Even while there has been some relief in the physio room at Carrington, Ten Hag’s squad is still missing one or two key players.TҺere were ιnιtιаl cоncerns tҺаt tҺe ιnjury mιgҺt Һаve been mоre serιоus, but LιsаnԀrо Mаrtιnez went Ԁоwn ҺоlԀιng Һιs knee Ԁurιng tҺe vιctоry оver West Һаm аnԀ Һаs been оut fоr twо mоntҺs.

“It’s a setback of course,” Ten Hag remarked in his pre-match press conference regarding Martinez, the World Cup winner. When he’s on the field, his impact on the team is obvious.

His mentality is just as important to our squad as his technical abilities, yet this is a major setback. Despite his disappointment, he is a fighter and promises to return, even stronger than before.

Both England regular Mason Mount (calf) and Tyrell Malacia (knee) are still on the treatment table. There have been rumors that Anthony Martial may have played his last game for United after undergoing surgery on his groin. If rumors are true, the club will have to wait until April before they can call on Martial again.

On Thursday morning, the 26-year-old made an effort to complete a workout. Unfortunately, the defender will not be available since Wan-Bissaka had to cut short his involvement.

The diagnosis is unknown at this time, Ten Hag stated. “Hopefully not too bad.”
