The fact that Erik ten Hag’s club overturned a two-goal deficit to defeat Villa 3-2 on Boxing Day will provide him with some measure of solace, despite the fact that the Midlands outfit may pose a significant threat.
This is the Erik Ten Hag of Manchester United.
As a result of a number of injuries, Lisandro Martínez will not be able to participate in the encounter that will take place tomorrow. These injuries will cause the Dutchman to be absent for a considerable amount of time.The former Ajax defender enjoyed an incredible start to his career at United, making 45 appearances in the first few months of the 2022–2023 season. However, he was forced to miss the final few months of the season due to a metatarsal fracture.
It was during the first few weeks of this season that he made his return to action; however, due to another foot injury, he did not return to action until the previous month, when he played against Tottenham Hotspur.

Over the course of the match against West Ham United, his negative run continued. As a result of damage to his medial collateral ligament in his knee, the recipient of the World Cup will most likely be out for the next eight weeks.
Now that the little defender has been replaced, Ten Hag will have a difficult time determining who will take his position.
Raphael Varane came in as a substitute for Martinez during the play against the Irons, and it is expected that he will be the one to start with Harry Maguire in the starting lineup for tonight’s match against Villa.
