Man United have been dealt a huge blow up front Ruben Amorim’s first game in charge of the Manchester club as key defender Lisandro Martínez has suffered another injury.
The Argentine star joined the Premier League giants as part of a £56.7 million with Ajax in 2022, joining forces once again with Erik ten Hag. The defender has become a huge hit with the Old Trafford faithful for his aggressive style of play though One of the main issues Man United fans have with the 26-year-old is his injury history.
Martinez has lost a total of 56 matches since his move to Manchester due to various fitness issues and it seems the Argentine star has suffered another setback.
According to the reliable Argentine journalist Gaston EdulMartinez will miss the Copa America winners’ next two 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Paraguay and Peru as a result of a knock he picked up during Man United’s 3-0 win against Leicester City at the weekend.
The centre-back played the full 90 minutes against the Foxes, so it is not known how serious the 26-year-old’s problem is.
Lisandro Martinez should not be a big concern for Man United
With Ruben Amorim officially the new manager of Man United, no player will want to miss the opening phase of his tenure at Old Trafford as it is the best time to impress the Portuguese manager.
The 39-year-old’s first game is against Ipswich Town on November 24 and being a key player for the Red Devils, Martinez’s fitness issue will be a concern ahead of the trip to Portman Road.
However, the 26-year-old’s injury shouldn’t be a problem as it is highly likely that the Argentina star has pulled out of international duty as a precaution, a trend that has already been seen a lot during the ‘current international parenthesis.
