Defender Lisandro Martínez has suffered another major injury, leaving Manchester United facing a defensive crisis.
Manchester United have been dealt a devastating blow as Lisandro Martínez picked up a serious injury in their recent match. Initial medical assessments suggest the Argentine’s condition is worse than first feared, and he could be sidelined for an extended period.
Martínez, once hailed as the “iron shield” of United’s backline, has struggled with injuries since joining the club. His absence now leaves Erik ten Hag with a massive headache, especially as the season enters its most demanding phase.
On social media, fans expressed both disappointment and concern, pointing out that United’s already fragile defense has lost one of its most reliable figures. Some even fear that repeated injuries may have long-term consequences on Martínez’s career.
For now, the club has not provided a clear timeline for his return, but multiple reports suggest he could be out for several months.
If the worst-case scenario unfolds, Manchester United may be forced to dip into the transfer market in the upcoming window—or place their hopes on young talents to fill the gap in defense.
