Manchester United transfer news LIVE Mainoo injury latest as Man Utd 'to make Martial decision'

It may be the international break but Erik ten Hag will be busy preparing for Manchester United's return to action.

A trip to Sheffield United is first up as the club try to record consecutive Premier League wins for the first time this season. Ten Hag has a number of injury concerns to deal with.

Raphael Varane was ruled out of the dramatic win over Brentford while Victor Lindelof hobbled down the tunnel during the match. The latter has joined up with Sweden so his issue may not be so serious.

Kobbie Mainoo is one player fans are eager to see return. He missed Tuesday's behind-closed-doors friendly with Barnsley despite returning to training following his pre-season ankle injury. United officials felt the match came too soon for the teenager.

Meanwhile, reports suggest that United are unsure whether to trigger the 12-month extension in Anthony Martial's contract. The striker's deal runs out next year and his future at the club may depend on how well he fares for the rest of this season.

According to ESPN, United's staff will take time to consider if they wish to trigger the 12-month extension clause in Anthony Martial's deal. His future may depend on how well he performs for the rest of the campaign.

Reports elsewhere suggest the striker will want to leave next summer if he is still a back-up to Rasmus Hojund.

Manchester United beat Barnsley 3-0 in a friendly at Carrington on Tuesday, with several first-team players short of minutes featuring against the League One club.

The behind-closed-doors game saw United take on a Barnsley side that was also made up of fringe players, and it was the Premier League outfit who ran out comfortable winners.
