As Manchester United’s challenging season draws to a close, the team is facing a race against time to get three key players back to full fitness. Victor Lindelof (thigh), Raphael Varane (with an undisclosed injury), and Anthony Martial (groin) are all striving to be fit in time for the final match at Brighton on Championship Sunday.
The upcoming fixture at Brighton & Hove Albion is crucial, and there’s a possibility that Lindelof, Varane, and Martial might feature in this important game. However, it remains uncertain whether they will be ready to play, and the FA Cup Final might be a more realistic target for their return.
The match details are set: Brighton & Hove Albion will host Manchester United at Falmer Stadium on Sunday, May 19, with a 4 PM kickoff. Despite Manchester United’s win over Newcastle recently, their season has been marked by inconsistency, and they currently sit 8th in the Premier League with 57 points. Brighton is not far behind in 10th place with 48 points.
Unfortunately for United, other key players such as Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire, Tyrell Malacia, and Mason Mount have been ruled out for the Brighton match. As the team prepares for this final league game, their focus is also on the FA Cup Final against Manchester City, which offers a critical opportunity to secure a spot in next season’s Europa League.
The upcoming matches are pivotal for Manchester United, and the fitness of Lindelof, Varane, and Martial will be closely watched. Their return could provide a much-needed boost as the team looks to salvage a difficult season and ensure continental competition next year.
