After a challenging season filled with injuries, Manchester United is hoping to welcome back some key players for their final Premier League game against Brighton on Sunday. With the FA Cup final against Manchester City just around the corner, the team is determined to secure a European qualification spot.
In their last few games, defenders Casemiro and Jonny Evans have been holding down the fort, but there's good news on the horizon. Lisandro Martinez, who has been eagerly awaited by fans, made his return in Wednesday's 3-2 victory against Newcastle. This is a promising sign for the team, especially since Raphael Varane bid farewell to the Old Trafford crowd in their last game. However, there's still a glimmer of hope that Varane may still play for the club in their upcoming match at Wembley.
Although star player Harry Maguire is expected to make a comeback for the final, it's unlikely that he'll be ready for Sunday's game against Brighton. Manager Erik ten Hag had hoped to give Luke Shaw some playing time before the FA Cup final, but unfortunately, the left-back suffered a minor setback during training. Additionally, Mason Mount suffered his own setback leading up to the game against Arsenal last weekend.
In more positive news, Marcus Rashford returned to the field after recovering from an injury. And fans were thrilled to see Bruno Fernandes back in action, leading the team with a stellar performance as captain. Amad Diallo also proved his worth with another impressive performance and a beautiful goal in the second half.
Looking ahead to Sunday's game, it's likely that we'll see a mix of experienced players and up-and-coming talent in the starting lineup. Marcus Rashford, who made his first appearance since the FA Cup semi-final, will likely come off the bench. And with Anthony Martial back in training, there's a chance he may make his final Premier League appearance before his departure this summer.
As we eagerly await the final match of the season, manager Erik ten Hag will provide updates during his press conference on Friday. Fans are excited to see who will make the predicted starting lineup, which includes Onana, Wan-Bissaka, Evans, Martinez, Dalot, Armrabat, Mainoo, Fernandes, Amad, Hojlund, and Garnacho.
For those wondering about the kick-off time for the Brighton vs Man Utd game, it's set for 4pm BST on Sunday. And with all 20 teams playing at the same time, it's sure to be an intense and exciting end to the season. Stay tuned for more updates and analysis as we support Manchester United in their final Premier League game.
