With the daunting task of facing Liverpool tonight, Erik ten Hag has been trying to find solutions for his issues in the middle of the pitch, and one of them has been taking a look at Lisandro Martinez in a defensive midfield role.
Reports suggest that Ten Hag has been doing shape work in training with the Argentine playing in a deeper midfield role and he could line up within the same against Jurgen Klopp’s side.
Manchester United have, of course, secured a more long-term solution to their problems in midfield by agreeing a deal for former Real Madrid star Casemiro. However, the 30-year-old won’t be available for Monday night’s clash, forcing Ten Hag to consider alternative ways in which he can add more steel to his midfield.
