Erik ten Hag confirms six Man Utd players are back v Tottenham - including Lisandro Martinez & Casemiro

Erik ten Hag has confirmed six Manchester United players will be back for this weekend's game against Tottenham Hotspur, with Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro returning after long-term absences.

The Red Devils return to Premier League action this Sunday when they host Spurs, following Monday night's win over Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup.

The United boss said after that game that Luke Shaw and Christian Eriksen could be back to face Tottenham and. speaking in Friday's pre-match press conference, confirmed they are indeed options for the meeting with the North London club, along with four other players.

"We have had a lot of injuries. In the last couple of days, Licha Martinez, Casemiro and Luke Shaw training," said the Dutchman. "There are players returning and they are coming in for selection on Sunday.

"Eriksen was ill in the week and he will return and Antony will return as well. Amad will return. We have more choices to make our starting XI and bench much stronger."

Antony missed the Wigan game due to a minor knock, while Amad was absent with illness. But the biggest boost for Ten Hag sees Martinez and Casemiro returning from injuries, two key players from last season. The latter hasn't played in three months, while Martinez's last game came on 20 September in the Champions League loss at Bayern Munich.

Meanwhile, Ten Hag also confirmed Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia and Mason Mount are on the road to recovery but won't be back for this weekend's clash against Spurs, while adding Anthony Martial remains 'not fit'.
