Manchester United trained for the final time before the crucial clash with Bayern Munich on Monday.

Erik ten Hag, the manager, will be anxiously watching the injury report, though, as United must win in order to have any hope of making it to the next round. They are a win five of their games and are currently at the bottom of their Champions League group.

Ten Hag has three days to prepare his team for the match against Bayern. The Red Devils enter the game fresh off a crushing loss to Bournemouth.

Ten Hag’s main concern ahead of Tueday’s game is that both Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial were missing from the session. United later confirmed both forwards were suffering from illness.

While the absences of Rashford and Martial is a concern, there was more positive news in the return of Lisandro Martinez. Martinez has been sidelined for the past three months after suffering a recurrence of a metatarsal issue.

But the Argentine was seen walking out with the main group for training, before peeling off to conduct individual work as part of his rehabilitation. He still has some way to go before he can be considered fully fit though.

Even so, it was be a positive for Ten Hag to see his star defender finally make it back out on the grass. United have suffered without the World Cup winner in their back four so the news he is stepping up his return is a huge boost for the Dutchman.

Despite having a miserable season, it seems like United’s players are still optimistic about their chances of qualifying for the Champions League. Kobbie Mainoo, Rasmus Hojlund, and Alejandro Garnacho were observed celebrating at one point during the session.

Sergio Reguilon was also seen hopping on Garnacho’s back as the young man tried to make things light. Ten Hag has stated that, going into Tuesday’s match, he is certain that his team is in the appropriate mindset.
