After last season's solid defensive performances from Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez, Erik ten Hag is eyeing their reunion against Newport County this Sunday.
Despite grappling with multiple injury setbacks and deploying ten different center-back combinations this season, the Dutch manager sees Varane and Martinez as pivotal to Manchester United's defensive stability.
The Argentine's recent return from injury adds depth to the squad, with Ten Hag confirming his availability for the upcoming FA Cup clash. With United aiming for silverware amidst a challenging season, the 53-year-old manager recognizes the importance of fielding his best XI.
The defenders' partnership could be instrumental in solidifying the Red Devils defense and boosting their chances in the FA Cup campaign.
