Premier League giants Manchester United and Chelsea are reportedly locked in a battle to acquire the services of highly-rated RB Leipzig center-back Castello Lukeba. The 21-year-old has impressed with his performances in the Bundesliga, making 37 appearances this season and recently cementing his place in the starting lineup.
Manchester United’s center-back, Lisandro Martinez, has signaled a potential imminent return to the field after battling various injuries. Initially sidelined for a month with a calf strain in early April, Martinez has faced multiple setbacks this season. Despite his progress from the latest injury, it is unlikely he will feature in the upcoming matches against Sheffield United and Burnley. However, his Instagram post suggests he may be available for the trip to Crystal Palace on May 6. United has grappled with several other injury issues during Martinez’s absence, particularly in the center-back position. With Harry Maguire as the only senior center-back available for the FA Cup semi-final, Casemiro had to fill in alongside Maguire, who played despite his own injury.
