Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has expressed grave concerns over the severity of Lisandro Martínez's injury, sustained during Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace. The Argentine defender was forced off the pitch in tears after suffering a knee injury, sparking fears of a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Speaking after the match, Amorim said, "I think it's a serious situation. It's not only a great player, but he has a strong character in the dressing room. He felt it and when you're a player, you know when something is serious. We're here to help him in this difficult moment, just as he has helped us."

The Portuguese manager's comments suggest that the injury could be more serious than initially feared. Martínez's absence will be a significant blow to Manchester United, who are already struggling for consistency this season.

A key player

Martínez has been a key figure for United since joining the club from Ajax in 2022. His ability to read the game, his aerial prowess, and his leadership qualities have made him a vital part of the team.

The road ahead

The full extent of Martínez's injury is not yet known, but it is clear that he will be sidelined for a significant period. Manchester United will now have to plan for life without their star defender, at least in the short term.

The club will also have to consider whether to dip into the transfer market to find a replacement for Martínez. With the January transfer window now closed, the club's options may be limited.

The impact on Argentina

Martínez's injury is also a concern for the Argentine national team, who are preparing for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers. The defender has been a regular starter for Argentina and his absence would be a significant blow to the team's defensive solidity.
