Lisandro Martinez fights to save Manchester United career amid injuries

Summary

Lisandro Martinez is facing challenges to his Manchester United future as concerns rise over his injury history. With his contract expiring at the end of the season, United holds an option for an additional year. Despite being regarded as their best defender when fit, Martinez has struggled with injuries, missing 88 matches since his arrival. He did not start in United’s opener against Hull City, possibly due to fatigue after participating in the World Cup. The club may activate his option to protect his market value before potentially moving him on.
