Man Utd unexpectedly received good news under terrible pressure

(Dan Tri) - Man Utd has just received good news when center back Lisandro Martinez has returned after 7 months of injury. This helps the Red Devils have more quality personnel amid terrible pressure.

Man Utd have been playing very poorly recently. The 0-3 loss to Man City pushed the Red Devils down to 14th place in the Premier League table with 4 points. Before that, the club also suffered a humiliating defeat against 4th-tier Grimsby in the English League Cup.

Coach Amorim and Man Utd are facing terrible pressure. Many fans have put pressure on the Red Devils' board to fire the Portuguese coach.

In that situation, Man Utd received good news when the mainstay center-back Lisandro Martinez is about to return after 7 months of injury. The Argentine star suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in the match against Crystal Palace in February and had to undergo surgery afterwards.

The long recovery period has kept him out for almost the entire first half of 2025. Yesterday, Lisandro Martinez shared a picture of himself wearing his boots on the training ground, marking an important step in his comeback process.

However, he is not ready to join the team training yet. That means Lisandro Martinez will not be able to play against Chelsea this weekend. It is likely that the 27-year-old will return after the national team training session in October.

The news of Lisandro Martinez's imminent return is good news for Man Utd and coach Amorim at this time. Up to now, coach Amorim has only won 8/31 matches in the Premier League while leading Man Utd. Notably, the Red Devils have not kept a clean sheet in a single match and have only scored 1 goal from open play in the Premier League.

The return of Lisandro Martinez could bring solidity to the defense, but the Portuguese coach's future remains a big question mark if the team does not improve soon.
