Manchester United fans are getting excited upon the return of Lisandro Martinez after his World Cup success with Argentina. The defender was given extra time off after the final, and subsequently missed the League Cup clash with Burnley last week and Tuesday’s league win over Nottingham Forest.
It’s not yet clear if he will feature against Wolves on New Year’s Eve. Martinez made five appearances in Qatar although did not feature in the final itself. United defensive partner Raphael Varane staggered off with exhaustion for France in extra time as his side tasted defeat.
He returned to United this week and featured in the victory over Forest, helping to keep a clean sheet in the 3-0 win. He could line up next to Martinez once more against Wolves if the Argentine is deemed ready.
