As he looks ahead to their encounter against Nottingham Forest, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has indicated that “many players” are expected to return to fitness in January.
The Red Devils’ dismal first half of the season hasn’t been helped by a high number of injuries as Ten Hag fights for his job.
Ten Hag’s team is now sixth in the Premier League standings, having already lost to Man Utd in both the Champions League and the League Cup this season.
Ten Hag, though, will be in a better mood this week after his Manchester United team overcame a 2-0 deficit to defeat Aston Villa 3-2 in their most recent Premier League game. The Dutchman has also disclosed that several of his players will be back in action in the new year.
“The squad for the trip to Forest will be the same as it was against Villa,” Ten Hag stated at his press conference on Friday.
“Many players should return by mid-January.” Mason [Mount], Casemiro, Tyrell Malacia, and Lisandro Martinez.
Of course, Harry Maguire is what we anticipate. Many players are anticipated to return in January.
“It’s always about us, but recognize that and know that they have the proper attitude. Naturally, they helped us gain confidence, but we also had to do it, so we had to carry it through to the performance.
Andre Onana, the goalkeeper, was included in Cameroon’s squad for the Africa Cup of Nations, therefore the trip to the City Ground might mark the goalkeeper’s final Manchester United appearance for some time.
Regarding Onana, Ten Hag remarked, “Maybe he be available for the Wigan FA Cup tie? Right now, we’re in communication with all of the federations and our ties are positive. Additionally, Sofyan (Amrabat) and Hannibal are involved.
