Manchester United officially announced that Lima has resumed training together, and Amorim revealed his comeback plan! Maguire is still expected to participate

Manchester United officially announced on Thursday that Lisandro Martinez has resumed training with the team. The training video shows that he participated in a confrontational training match, which marked that his recovery from the anterior cruciate ligament injury of his knee in February has entered the final stage. However, Lima will definitely miss Saturday's Premier League trip to Nottingham Forest.

Lima was injured in the game against Crystal Palace. He was later diagnosed with anterior cruciate ligament damage and he underwent surgery. There were rumors earlier this month that he would train normally after the international break, but Manchester United stressed they would not risk a premature return. Now, he has returned to the team's training and may be included in the squad as early as next weekend's visit to Tottenham.

Since Friday is the Halloween holiday, the Premier League pre-match press conference was moved forward to Thursday. Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim confirmed that Lima will not play against Forest. "Lima is entering the final stages of his return to the field. He is a very hard-working player who is always working hard in the gym. He is very hardworking both on and off the field. It is almost like a perpetual motion machine. He is the kind of player who loves to fight and it is very lucky to have him in the team. He really puts in so much hard work. ”

Amorim added: “We arrived at 9 a.m. and it’s already 4 p.m. and he is still working. He has enough experience to know when to work harder. I am really happy, not just me, but everyone because he is an indispensable player for our club. "

Regarding whether Lima can participate in the game between Manchester United and Nottingham Forest, Amorim said: "He really wants to participate, but he is temporarily unable to travel, and it will take some time to arrange. He started training with the whole team, but we had to adjust some training content for him. The training effect will gradually improve. He is very good and very sharp in every training, which is a good thing for us."

Luke Shaw has served as the starting left center back in all 9 Premier League games this season. It is expected that when the 27-year-old Lima officially returns, he will need to compete with Luke Shaw for the starting qualification.

Harry Maguire, another Manchester United central defender, was also injured after scoring in the 2-1 victory over Liverpool and missed the last round of the game against Brighton. Maguire said he knew nothing about whether the £80 million Iron Guard could return. "Other players still have one day to train, but I don't know Maguire's situation. I can only say that the other players are training well."

Maguire may still participate in Saturday's game. Amorim made similar comments about Mazraoui before his previous visit to Liverpool, but the Moroccan full-back was eventually included on the substitute list for the game.

On the day Manchester United visits Nottingham City Stadium, it will be the first anniversary of Amorim's coaching. This week, he was selected as a candidate for the Premier League's Best Coach of the Month in October. Manchester United has suffered three consecutive defeats against Nottingham Forest, but the team coached by Sean Dyche is in poor condition at the moment, and the Red Devils have a good opportunity for revenge. Amorim said: "It has been a very long year, and the process has been very difficult, but I have learned a lot from it. Now, the answer is different from three weeks ago, and it is very important to understand this. Being able to come to Manchester United is the greatest honor in my life."

But he reminded Manchester United not to underestimate Nottingham Forest, even though the opponent has suffered four consecutive defeats in the Premier League. "I watched their games against Porto and Bournemouth and Dyche would adjust the tactics according to the characteristics of the players. They have good players like Gibbs White, Elliott Anderson and Hudson-Odoi. So we have to be fully prepared and maybe not as much space as in the previous games. And, Our performance at home and away is still inconsistent, and we must improve our ability to control the field when we are away. "

Sean Dyche, who just joined Nottingham Forest, once said when he was a commentator that if he was allowed to coach Manchester United, he could win more games with 442. In response, Amorim responded: "First of all, if we adopt a 442 formation, maybe we will indeed achieve better results. We have won consecutively recently, but I have always said that I have my own philosophy and it will take some time to work. The situation will definitely be better in the future. Of course, we cannot be sure of this yet. One point. As for Dyche, he can both direct the team as a coach and analyze the game as a commentator. I know that Dyche is very smart and he also knows how to guide the team to win the game."

Amorin said that he understood the commentator's criticism. "If you are a commentator and you don't have anything sharp to say, then I don't want to read your commentary at all! It would be the same for me. So, I can understand that this job is completely different. Just as Dyche also understands that watching and discussing the game is one thing, but actually coaching a team is another. So I completely understand, there is nothing to say, I just want to win in the next game."
