The immediate priority will be looking to claim an important victory against Brentford on Saturday night.

Ten Hag may be forced to be without several key players through injury for the game. One player who could return is Lisandro Martinez.

The Argentina international has missed the majority of the season through injury, with the latest being a knee problem that has kept him out since February. However, Ten Hag admitted that he hopes to have Martinez back available for the game against Brentford, but a start may be too soon given the lengthy spell on the sidelines in recovery.
