Amorim: Lisandro is closer to return, Luke Shaw can play as left wing-back

November 21 News At 4:00 a.m. on November 25, in the 12th round of the 2025-26 Premier League season, Manchester United will face Everton at home. Before the game, Red Devils coach Amorim attended the press conference. He talked about some of the team's current situation.

About Sheshko's injury

- He will be absent for a few weeks. The injury is not serious, but we must be cautious. He is feeling much better and will presumably return when Ahmad heads to the Africa Cup of Nations.

About Maguire and Menu

- Maguire is not ready yet, Menu did not train today, but we may see him tomorrow.

About the time when players participating in the African Cup of Nations will leave the team

- We have regulations on when to release players. We try to keep them as long as possible, but it’s not up to us. Probably two weeks before the start of the game.

Regarding dealing with player absences

- Other players, such as U21 players, have the opportunity to play. But it’s not ideal and they are vital to our team.

About the anxious standings

- No matter how tight the standings are, if you know the history of our team, you will know that difficult moments are always unpredictable.

Regarding the Lisandro Martinez situation

- He is a very smart player who can play multiple positions, but he will not play this game and he is closer to returning.

About Luke Shaw

- He can play at left wing-back and his style of play is slightly different to other players in that position, but he is an intelligent player.

On the first anniversary of coaching Manchester United

- Everything is moving very quickly. The first thing that comes to my mind is that the environment in the Premier League is very different. It feels like this is the best league and the best club in the world. We are proving that but it is important that we do not forget the performance of the last few games. We have to remember what a setback we went through last year and I'm looking forward to a team that takes better control of the game and is more dominant.
