00:00Manchester United could welcome two players back when they host Sunderland in the Premier League this weekend.

00:06Ruben Amarim is in desperate need of a win to ease the pressure on his position

00:11and he will be boosted by the return of the suspended Casemiro for the home match on Saturday afternoon.

00:18Casemiro of course missed the defeat to Brentford after he was sent off in the 2-1 home win over Chelsea last month.

00:25He scored the winning goal in that game but was dismissed for his second yellow card just before half-time.

00:31United could also welcome back Amad after he missed the Brentford defeat due to a family bereavement.

00:36He was given an unspecified amount of time off. He remained in Manchester during that period of time

00:43but he is back in training this week and could also be back in the United squad for Sunderland this weekend.

00:48Tyrell Molassia also trained with the United squad after he didn't secure an exit in the summer window.

00:55He was initially invited to train with the under-21s just to build that match sharpness

00:59and he's going to train with the United first team for the foreseeable future.

01:03It doesn't mean he's going to be selected for games.

01:05I still wouldn't expect him to be in the squad against Sunderland this weekend just because he's been out for so long

01:11but he's at least another option for Ruben Amarim who has named two goalkeepers on the bench on a few occasions already this season

01:18so you might as well name Molassia there.

01:21I know that he might not be the perfect fit for what Amarim wants to do at United

01:25but he's at least a senior pro who could give them something from the bench.

01:29In terms of absentees, Lissandro Martins still hasn't returned to team training.

01:33He underwent ACL surgery after his injury against West Ham all the way back in February.

01:40He's still not available for selection, probably back after the international break.

01:45And Muzar Masraoui as well was ruled out last week until later this month.

01:50He didn't play against Brentford and he won't be available for Sunderland this weekend.

01:54So the team news for United is Martinez and Masraoui are still missing.

01:57Casimir are back from suspension.

01:58Ahmad should be involved but it should be too soon for Tyrell Molassia to play.
