Man U vs Chelsea: Mount Returns! Will They Conquer at Old Trafford?
Massive Boost for Man United Ahead of Chelsea Clash!
Manchester United fans, rejoice! Two key players, Mason Mount and Matheus Cunha, are back in the squad for the crucial Premier League match against Chelsea this Saturday. This is a welcome relief after the disappointing 3-0 defeat at the hands of City.
Mount and Cunha were sidelined after picking up injuries during the 3-2 victory against Burnley three weeks ago. Their return offers manager Ruben Amorim much-needed options and a boost in attacking prowess.
However, it's not all good news. Diogo Dalot remains unavailable due to muscle soreness, having withdrawn from the Portugal squad earlier this month. The team will miss his defensive contributions.
Martinez Nearing Return!
In more positive news, Lisandro Martinez has resumed training on the grass after recovering from a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee sustained seven months ago. Amorim emphasized the importance of Martinez's return, stating, "We miss Licha a lot. We miss the aggression in this moment, how aggressive he is on everything he does."
While Martinez won't be available for the Chelsea game, his presence around the team continues to be a source of motivation. "He’s always there in every meeting, even in training, he stays there to watch the training. I think we need Licha in this team," Amorim added.
Can United Maintain Their Home Dominance?
Manchester United boasts an impressive home record against Chelsea, remaining unbeaten in their last 12 encounters at Old Trafford. Chelsea's last victory at the ground dates back to May 2013, just before Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement announcement. Can they break the streak this Saturday?
Meanwhile, Tyrell Malacia remains with the club but is training with the Under-21s. Despite transfer windows closing in major European leagues, opportunities remain in Saudi Arabia and Greece.
Amorim's Meeting with Ratcliffe
Amidst a challenging start to the season, with only four points from the opening four Premier League games and an embarrassing League Cup exit, manager Ruben Amorim revealed that his meeting with co-owner Jim Ratcliffe was a show of support and reassurance of the club's long-term commitment to his project.
The stage is set for a captivating clash at Old Trafford. Will Mount and Cunha's return spark a victory for Manchester United, or will Chelsea finally break their Old Trafford curse?
