hadn’t injured his achilles. "We have seen Licha Martinez drop out after a moment,” said the Dutchman. “There was no opponent involved so it doesn't look that great so we have to


wait. “I can't say in this moment [what it is], the same as Rapha [Varane]. I think it is for after the game, but that injury, he [has] complained [about] over the last couple of weeks


and we have to see how it is now." MAN UTD TAKEOVER: MAN UTD MAKING PLANS FOR FIVE PLAYERS “And we have seen on Saturday, Harry Maguire had a good game. And tonight he came in and I
