Manchester United are set to receive a double injury boost ahead of the Premier League clash against Aston Villa at Old Trafford this month.

The Red Devils were recently on a seven-match unbeaten streak before a disappointing loss to Newcastle United at St James’ Park on Sunday.

Lisandro Martinez was sidelined for a third-straight game with a calf problem, but he is poised to return against the Villans on the 15th of March.

The centre-back could be reinstated in the starting XI alongside Harry Maguire, considering Leny Yoro has been pretty inconsistent until now.

Meanwhile, Mason Mount could likewise return from a muscle issue. The midfielder should return to full training at the start of next week.

While the duo are poised to make the squad, Matthijs de Ligt may not return from a nagging back problem until after the international break.

Patrick Dorgu is nursing a long-term hamstring injury, and the Dane is not expected back on the training pitch until the middle of April at least.
