'Hopefully' - Manchester United fans name Lisandro Martinez replacement amid injury crisis

manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Manchester United supporters are desperate to see Luke Shaw return against Nottingham Forest on Sunday afternoon (4.30pm) to ease their defensive injury crisis - amid concerns over first-choice centre-backs Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez.

After having to replace Varane at half-time during their European showdown with Sevilla on Thursday night, there was a further setback for United when Martinez (foot) went down in a heap and had to be stretchered away.

Shaw has missed two matches himself with a knock. Scott McTominay and Marcus Rashford (groin) were also unavailable for the Sevilla draw.

Donny van de Beek and Alejandro Garnacho are longer-term absentees - while back-up goalkeeper Tom Heaton has been nursing a foot injury to round-up their selection issues.
