Harry Maguire will return to the Manchester United starting lineup when they welcome Brentford to Old Trafford on Monday.
Manchester United will aim to take a step closer to secure a spot in the Premier League top five when they host Brentford at Old Trafford on Monday night. Michael Carrick has received a positive update on the team news front ahead of his side’s latest fixture.
Harry Maguire is finally available after serving a two-match suspension, which forced him to miss over a month of action. However, Lisandro Martinez remains unavailable, as his three-game ban continues this week.
While Patrick Dorgu is closing in on returning from a hamstring issue, Monday’s fixture has come too soon for him. However, Leny Yoro (unspecified) and Matthijs de Ligt (lower back) remain on the sidelines. Meanwhile, during his pre-match press conference, Carrick provided fitness updates on Dorgu and Yoro.
The Manchester United head coach said, “To be honest, everything’s alright, as it was couple of knocks and niggles a little bit, coming out of the game, that you’d expect. Patrick [Chinazaekpere Dorgu] is working his way to being back.”
“He’s certainly making good progress and back closer to training with us, which is positive, so that’s good news. We’re still working on [Leny]. So, there’s a possibility, there’s a possibility, but at this stage, it’s not 100 per cent sure.”
Senne Lammens is an automatic pick between the sticks, with Manchester United lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in front of him against Brentford on Monday.
