In today’s Manchester United injury news – A boost for Erik ten Hag as his new signings eyes his debut, an update on Lisandro Martinez & more.
Manchester United are down in the dumps right now. However, with a quick turnaround in fixtures in Brighton and Hove Albion and Bayern Munich in the same week, it is the right time for Erik ten Hag to bounce back. With that being said, let’s take a look at today’s injury stories.
Manchester United injury news – Sofyan Amrabat is ready for debut
Despite being pulled out of international duty due to fitness concerns, Evening Standard understands that Sofyan Amrabat is ready to make his competitive debut for Manchester United this weekend against Brighton, claiming he’s fit to play despite the scare.

Whether Erik ten Hag chooses to use Amrabat against Brighton or Bayern Munich remains to be seen but the feeling is he’ll feature in at least one of those games.
Manchester United injury news – Lisandro Martinez returns to fitness
A quick turnaround as Lisandro Martinez has also been deemed fit to play. According to Standard, the Argentine who was subbed off against Arsenal in the last match has been described as “well” by the Argentina manager. Also, Lindelof who was subbed off to illness is expected to return against Brighton.
Manchester United injury news – Raphael Varane and Luke Shaw remain injured
There has been no update on defensive pair Raphael Varane and Luke Shaw. Therefore, I would expect that their assumed return dates in October remain the same. Luckily for United, there is backup for Shaw in summer signing Reguilon, who is yet to get his first start under United manager Erik ten Hag.
