After spending time on the sidelines due to a knee injury, defender Lisandro Martinez can return to play for Man Utd in the match at Brentford tonight, in round 30 of the Premier League.

Mainoo graduated from Man Utd’s youth academy and made 14 appearances for the Old Trafford team in the Premier League this season. Ten Hag said Mainoo’s strong start to his international career was no surprise.

“I think it’s very good but we’re not surprised. We know Mainoo’s ability, he can adapt very quickly to a high level,” he said.

“It’s very natural and we’re very happy for him and very proud of the academy. It’s a big compliment to the whole club.”

“So far, Mainoo has handled it well, there is no need to intervene because he is hungry to play football, he wants to win, wants to give his best every day because he wants to improve. Mainoo just wants to get joy on the field”.

“The interesting thing for him is the way he dominates, controls the game and wins.”
