[4-2-3-1]: Nico Williams and New striker arrived- Man United’s new dangerous lineups as New striker signed and Nico Williams agree to join in January
You didn’t think Manchester United would actually get through an entire international break (and we still have the entire weekend, and early next week to go) without suffering a fresh injury or two, right? Sure enough, Argentinian central defender Lisandro Martinez, one of the team’s best players, suffered a back problem, and thus had to withdraw from international duty this window.
Fortunately, it doesn’t sound too serious.
Lisandro Martinez
Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni provided the following update: “We didn’t expect the case of Lisandro. We saw that he had suffered a blow to his back, but apparently, he had no problem, just pain. When he arrived here, the pain increased a bit, he underwent tests and is not fit to be here.”
Overall it is encouraging though- he should be in contention for the very first game, after the November internationals.
Tyrell Malacia

The left-back finally made his first appearance, in well over a year (and few months to boot) in the EFL Trophy match against Huddersfield Town on Tuesday. So he’s back! Huzzah!
