Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez has received a major boost in his long road to recovery, with positive results from an MRI scan on his knee last week, according to Simon Jones of Mail Sport. The 27-year-old Argentine centre-back has been sidelined for nearly eight months due to a recurring knee injury but is now poised to step into the final stage of his rehabilitation.
Martinez, who has been one of United’s most vocal and influential figures in the dressing room, has reportedly grown frustrated during his extended absence. The former Ajax man is known for his tenacity and leadership on the pitch, and sources close to the club suggest he is determined to make a full return to first-team action as soon as possible.
The injury woes have been a major setback for both Martinez and Manchester United. Since joining in 2022, the defender has established himself as a fan favourite for his fearless defending and passion. His absence has left a noticeable gap in Ruben Amorim’s backline, with the Red Devils struggling for consistency and defensive solidity in recent months.
