Man United have been boosted with the return to fitness of Lisandro Martinez in an unchanged line-up to face Tottenham.

Martinez was substituted at half-time in Monday’s 1-0 win over Wolves due to an ankle issues.

But the Argentina defender is expected to be fit to face Spurs on Saturday.

Asked if Martinez is available on Friday, Ten Hag said: “He was just training [on Thursday], so I think so. Yeah.”

The United boss has decided against reintroducing Anthony Martial to his starting XI after the striker’s return from injury.

Marcus Rashford was ineffectual while leading the line on Monday night but gets another chance tonight.

Rasmus Hojlund is not involved as he rebuilds his fitness following a back injury suffered before his £72million move from Atalanta.

Tyrell Malacia, Kobbie Mainoo and Amad Diallo are unavailable due to injuries.
