Video: Huge Man United injury boost as Lisandro Martinez and Marcus Rashford return to training | OneFootball

Manchester United and Erik ten Hag have been dealt a major personnel boost as Marcus Rashford and Lisandro Martinez returned to training today.

Earlier this month, United confirmed that both Martinez and Victor Lindelof would be ruled out for a month after the pair sustained injuries during the club’s 1-1 draw against Brentford on 30th March.

On that occasion, Martinez – who had just returned from another long-term physical setback that had ruled him out of action for four months – was thrust into the action at the Gtech Community Stadium as a substitute.

United explained that the World Cup winner picked up a calf strain in a training session that took place in the aftermath of the disappointing draw vs. the Bees.

Martinez has been unable to nail down a consistent run of matches due to multiple issues. So far this term, the Argentine has made just 11 appearances across all competitions.

To say he has been sorely missed would be an understatement. With Jonny Evans, Raphael Varane and Willy Kambwala also out recovering from injuries, Ten Hag has been forced to deploy a centre-back pairing of Harry Maguire and Casemiro in recent matches.

According to Sky Sports, Martinez is now back in team training at Carrington as he steps up his fitness with an eye on playing a part in United’s next game against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

He was not the only one welcome sight at the Red Devils’ training complex. Rashford also took part in the sessions.

Rashford has not played for United since their humiliating FA Cup quarter-final win on penalties over Championship outfit Coventry City.

In that match, the England international was poor and after the final whistle, it emerged that he left Wembley while limping.

With him unavailable to Ten Hag for selection, Garnacho has started on the left flank in subsequent clashes vs. Sheffield United and Burnley.

No doubt Rashford will be hoping to finish what has been a disappointing season for him on a more positive note.
