Manchester United will meet Bournemouth in the 2022-2023 Premier League continuation. Ahead of the match, the coach of The Red Devils -Manchester United’s nickname, Erik Ten Hag was optimistic that Lisandro Martinez and Scott McTominay could appear in that match.
For your information, the match between Manchester United and Bournemouth will be presented in the 19th match of the Premier League 2022. The clash will take place at Old Trafford, Manchester on Wednesday (4/1/2023).
According to reports from the official Manchester United website, Lisandro Martinez recently returned to Carrington after the Argentina national team’s campaign at the 2022 World Cup. Meanwhile, McTominay has been dealing with illness during the celebration period of the victory over Burnley in the English League Cup on December 21, 2022.
After missing the victory over Nottingham Forest and most recently over Wolves, Ten Hag is also optimistic that the duo Martínez and McTominay will be available again for the match against The Cherries -Bournemouth’s nickname. He said the two players had returned to training with Manchester United.
“We’ll have to see,” Erik told reporters at his pre-match press conference, when asked if he expected Martinez and McTominay to return for the game against Bournemouth, as reported by Manchester United’s official website.
“Both trained yesterday and today, so I’m quite optimistic (they) are back in the squad, both of them.”
That way, The Red Devils will again get additional ammunition to be able to win three points at home. Of course, victory is a dead price for Erik ten Hag’s troops so that they can continue to stick to Arsenal, who are at the top of the standings.
Currently, Manchester United is still in fourth place in the 2022-2023 Premier League standings with 32 points from 16 matches. The Red Devils are 8 points adrift of the Gunners -Arsenal’s nickname – who are firmly at the top of the standings.
Therefore, a win over Bournemouth will make Manchester United close the gap on Arsenal. Marcus Rashford also has more motivation because he plays in front of his own supporters.
