United has encountered difficulties this season due to the injuries of important players such as Casemiro and Martinez. Ten Hag has acknowledged that there are more options available in the squad currently. Additionally, Ten Hag has stated that Martial is still not fit to play. Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has suggested that Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, and Luke Shaw are all likely to be included in the lineup for the Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, January 14.

Ten Hag expressed his optimism about the team’s options during a conversation with reporters, as reported by Reuters, highlighting the increased depth in the squad leading up to the match at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag informed the reporters that the team is back on the training ground and will soon regain their full match fitness. He expressed his satisfaction with the increased options in the squad, allowing for a stronger starting 11 and a more competitive bench. Ten Hag also mentioned the return of players like Eriksen, Antony, and Amad Diallo. However, he confirmed that Anthony Martial is still unable to participate due to his ongoing illness. Ten Hag emphasized the importance of ensuring the players’ fitness and stated that it is Martial’s responsibility to work towards regaining his fitness.
