Lisandro Martinez (Manchester United) eventually left due to an injury.

British media Daily Star reported on the 4th (Korea time) that Martinez shed tears due to his injury. He will not be able to play for the rest of the season,' he reported.

Manchester United, led by head coach Ruben Amorim, lost 0-2 at home to Crystal Palace in the 2024-2025 season at Old Trafford in Manchester, England on the 3rd. Manchester United bowed their heads in the 19th minute of the second half and 44th minute of the second half, losing points in succession to Jean-Philippe Mateta. With the defeat, Manchester United ranked 13th with 8 wins, 5 draws and 11 losses (29 points).




A dizzying situation occurred during the game. It was in the 30th minute of the second half when Manchester United was losing 0-1. Martinez was knocked down by Ismaila Sarr's horror tackle in the defensive process. Martinez immediately signaled a replacement to the bench, perhaps feeling serious shortly after the injury. Manchester United medical staff were rushed in and the game was delayed for more than six minutes. Martinez couldn't play any more. He was stretchered off to the bench.

The Daily Star said it looked like Martinez hurt his knee during the game. He shed tears as he was carried on a stretcher. Citing Argentina's TyC Sports report, the outlet added that 'Martinez injured his cruciate ligament'

Amorim seemed to sense the extent of Martinez's injury. "We have to watch the situation for a few days after the game, but I think it's a serious situation. Not only is he a great player, but he is also a strong character in the locker room. We will be here to help him in this difficult moment as he helped us."




Meanwhile, Martinez has joined Manchester United through the summer 2022 transfer window. He played 27 EPL games in the 2022-2023 season, which was his debut season for Manchester United. However, he left at the end of the season due to a metatarsal injury. In the end, there were only 11 games in the 2023-2024 season. Earlier, another media outlet The Sun said 'Martinez's rise is not the first. He was rehabbed due to an injury in his first season, and after returning, he was injured again. Martinez's injury came at a bad time. Manchester United could soon have to reinforce their defenders.
