“Manchester United confirms that Lisandro Martínez suffered an ACL injury during Sunday’s match against Crystal Palace. Everyone at Manchester United wishes Lisandro Martínez strength for a successful recovery, and we will support him every step of the way,” the club stated.
The announcement did not provide details on the severity of the injury, and with only three months left in the season, it is unlikely Martínez will recover in time. In addition to being an indisputable starter at Manchester United, Lisandro Martínez is a key player in Argentina’s defensive setup.
The loss of the defender adds to the growing list of setbacks in what has been a disappointing season for the English club. Struggling since the start of the season, the club’s management decided to sack coach Erik Ten Hag after a string of poor results and hired Portuguese coach Rúben Amorim from Sporting.
Since joining the Red Devils in November, Amorim has yet to implement his style of play, and positive results have been scarce. In 19 matches so far, the team has registered eight wins, three draws, and eight losses, leaving them in 13th place in the Premier League, far from the race for any European competition spots.
