Manchester United confirm Lisandro Martínez's cruciate ligament tear

In their latest Premier League match, Manchester United hosted Crystal Palace at Old Trafford but suffered a 0-2 defeat. However, the result was not the only setback for the home side.

Details: Center-back Lisandro Martínez sustained an injury during the game, and there were immediate concerns that he had torn his cruciate ligament. On Thursday, February 6, the Red Devils officially confirmed the diagnosis. The club is now assessing the injury to determine the appropriate treatment plan and recovery timeline.

It is highly likely that Martínez will miss the remainder of the 2024/25 season. Moreover, his rehabilitation process could extend into the start of the next campaign.

Earlier today, reports emerged that Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford will continue his career at Aston Villa. The 27-year-old Englishman is set to play for Unai Emery’s side on loan until the end of the season.

Reminder: Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson has expressed his surprise at Rashford’s departure, suggesting that Ruben Amorim appears to have run out of ideas.
