Martinez has been sidelined since February with a serious knee injury, but he has since returned to full first-team training. Here's a look at the latest on Manchester United's injuries... Amorim said ahead of the Brighton match that the knock suffered by Maguire was nothing serious. But he still elected not to name the centre-back in Saturday's matchday squad despite deeming that Mason Mount - who was also reportedly dealing with a knock last week - was fit enough to make the bench."
"It was feared Martinez might miss a year of football after tearing his ACL in February, but he has been training individually in recent weeks and Amorim thinks he could return to the pitch soon. Martinez is working his way back to fitness Manchester United via Getty Imag He is back in first-team training as of last week, but will not quite be fit in time to face Nottingham Forest this weekend. Amorim said: "He (Martinez) wants to go to this one [Forest], he isn't going to this one. He's going to need time. He has started training with us. Slowly he is going to get better. He will hope to return to the matchday squad next time out." Potential return date: Saturday, November 8 vs Tottenham (A)"
