Man Utd were held to a 2-2 draw by Sevilla in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals. This draw not only puts the Red Devils at a disadvantage in the second leg, but also causes the club to suffer huge losses.
According to the Telegraph , centre-back Lisandro Martinez suffered a fractured right foot after the match. It is predicted that the Argentine star will be out for up to 8 weeks. That means the season is over for Lisandro Martinez.
The centre-back was injured after landing badly. Afterwards, he held his right leg in extreme pain. Lisandro Martinez's two compatriots, Marcos Acuna and Gonzalo Montiel (both playing for Sevilla), helped carry the Man Utd player off the pitch. After the match, the former Ajax centre-back had to use crutches to move around.
Initially, coach Ten Hag was worried that Lisandro Martinez had ruptured his Achilles tendon (in the heel), but even if that did not happen, the 1998-born midfielder would still have to take a long-term break.
But the disaster for Man Utd does not stop there. Centre-back Raphael Varane also has a problem with his foot. Man Utd's medical team is still assessing the French centre-back's condition. There are concerns that Varane will be out for the rest of the season, but Man Utd hope that this is not the case.
Losing Lisandro Martinez (and possibly Varane) for the rest of the season could derail Ten Hag's goals. In addition to competing in the Europa League, Man Utd are also competing for the top 4 of the Premier League and the FA Cup.

This season, the central defenders Lisandro Martinez and Varane have worked very well together. Without one or both of them, Man Utd's defense is more fragile than ever. Needless to say, the Red Devils played extremely chaotically and let Sevilla score two goals in a row in the final minutes.
Man Utd will also be without Bruno Fernandes due to suspension in the second leg of the Europa League quarter-final against Sevilla in the middle of next week. In addition, Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw, and Scott McTominay are all injured and have no chance of playing.
In the immediate future, this weekend, Man Utd will travel to Nottingham Forest's home field in round 31 of the Premier League.
