Their win against Liverpool was the first time Ten Hag paired Martinez and Raphael Varane together at centre-back and the two complimented each other exceptionally.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/06\/18\/every-premier-league-transfer-completed-in-summer-2022\/\" target=\"_self\">Every Premier League Transfer Completed in Summer 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>They have since kept their place on the team-sheet and picked up two clean sheets &#8211; something the Red Devils have struggled to acquire in recent years. Martinez has also been awarded Player of the Month for August, as well as Man of the Match on two occasions.<\/p>\n<p>Sancho has provided two pivotal goals for his side this season against Liverpool and Leicester. The Englishman is finally looking more comfortable in his position on the pitch for United and showing why the club forked out \u00a372.9 million for his skillful attacking ability.<\/p>\n<p>Rashford also added a goal against Jurgen Klopp\u2019s men to see out the win and is consequently keeping <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/08\/31\/cristiano-ronaldo-harry-maguire-manchester-united\/\" target=\"_self\">Cristiano Ronaldo<\/a> out of the starting striker role.<\/p>\n<h3>Manchester United Injuries to Consider<\/h3>\n<p>Anthony Martial misses yet another league game through injury. He was ruled out of opening day against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/09\/01\/chelsea-wonderkid-billy-gilmour-brighton-medical\/\" target=\"_self\">Brighton &amp; Hove Albion<\/a> with a hamstring issue and is now working to recover from an achilles injury.<\/p>\n<p>The Frenchman was United\u2019s most in-form player throughout pre-season and displayed some fine footwork to assist Rashford and make it 2-1 against Liverpool. His return date is currently unknown.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/09\/02\/strongest-manchester-united-lineup-new-signings\/\" target=\"_self\">Strongest Manchester United Line-up After \u00a3498m Transfer Spending<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Victor Lindelof is now back training and available for selection this weekend after missing four matches.
