Manchester United heads into their clash against Liverpool riding a wave of optimism. The Manchester club is set to welcome back two key players, Noussair Mazraoui and Lisandro Martínez, both nearing a return to action. It’s a double boost for Ruben Amorim, who could finally have an almost full squad at his disposal for the first time this season.

The Moroccan full-back has trained normally this week at Carrington after several weeks on the sidelines and looks ready to be in contention for a spot in the squad. His presence would offer an extra option in a position that’s seen plenty of rotation in recent months. On his end, Martínez has also rejoined team training after receiving medical clearance, bringing an end to a lengthy rehabilitation spell. His leadership, aggression, and defensive impact have been sorely missed by the team.

"We miss Licha a lot—his aggression, his attitude, his character. He’s always there for us, even when he’s not playing," Amorim emphasized, delighted to welcome back a key figure in his dressing room. These returns couldn’t come at a better time for United, who are locked in a fierce battle to climb the Premier League table. With a reinforced squad, the Red Devils can approach this crucial showdown at Anfield with renewed confidence and ambition.
