Manchester United’s stricken centre-back Lisandro Martínez is targeting a return to action next season as quickly as possible, reports claim.
The 27-year-old tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in February, ending his season prematurely as the early stages of Ruben Amorim’s fledgling tenure at Old Trafford went from bad to worse.
Martínez had previously spent lengthy periods on the sidelines with a medial collateral ligament sprain, calf strain, broken foot and a fractured metatarsal, all of which he suffered within the space of two years.
United have been worse off in Martínez’s absence, limping to a worst-ever Premier League finish of 15th while suffering defeat in the Europa League final to Tottenham Hotspur—a result that means the Red Devils will not be playing any kind of European football next season for only the second time in 35 years.
report Martínez is making good progress in his recovery from surgery, with tests last week conclusively proving that the Argentine World Cup winner has not suffered a tear in his meniscus.
