Summary

Lisandro Martinez is poised to make his return for Manchester United, nearing full fitness after a lengthy layoff due to an ACL injury. The Argentine defender suffered the setback in February during a match against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford, and his availability marks a significant lift for the team.
This potential return comes after Manchester United's recent 1-0 loss to rivals Everton, which halted a five-game unbeaten streak. The team has struggled to secure victories in their last three outings, with the upcoming fixture against Crystal Palace presenting a challenge as United seeks to overcome a five-game winless run at Selhurst Park.
Crystal Palace has demonstrated resilience at home this season, with a strong record in south London. Despite Palace's recent UEFA Conference League defeat, their home form poses a test for Manchester United. Martinez's comeback offers a crucial defensive reinforcement as the team prepares for this important encounter.
