Man Utd faces setback as top player leaves Argentina team due to injury.

Manchester United's manager Ruben Amorim has received some unfortunate news regarding their Argentine defender Lisandro Martinez. According to reports, Martinez sustained an injury while playing the full 90 minutes in United's 3-0 victory over Leicester City on Sunday. This comes as a setback for the team as the 26-year-old was expected to feature for his country, Argentina, in their upcoming international matches.

However, it seems that Martinez will not be able to join his national team for their crucial World Cup qualifiers in South America. Argentina, who won the last World Cup in 2022, will face Paraguay on Thursday and Peru on November 20. Unfortunately, Martinez has been forced to withdraw from Lionel Scaloni's squad due to the knock he received at Old Trafford before joining his national team.

This news will surely be a cause for concern for United fans, especially considering Martinez's previous struggles with injuries which limited his appearances to just 14 games last season. The team will be hoping that this withdrawal is just a precautionary measure and that Martinez will be back in action soon. He has been a key player for United this season, featuring in 10 out of their 11 Premier League matches.

Martinez's performance has also caught the eye of their new manager, Ruben Amorim, who is expected to implement a new tactical approach with a back three. Former United star Jaap Stam believes that Martinez, along with other players like De Ligt and Yoro, will thrive in this system. However, despite his importance to the team, Martinez has faced criticism this season.

In fact, former United player Roy Keane was particularly critical of Martinez's performance in the 1-1 draw against Chelsea earlier this month. He pointed out that the defender was caught out by Cole Palmer and was lucky to escape a red card for a reckless tackle. Despite this, Martinez remains a valuable player for United and will be missed in their upcoming matches.
