The Argentine has been out of action since the start of the year, suffering a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in a Premier League clash with Crystal Palace.

Lisandro Martinez underwent successful surgery in late February, marking the beginning of a long road to recovery.

Nearly seven months on, it looks like Martinez is finally getting close to returning, as he shared his steps of jogging lightly on the pitch.

With the left-sided centre-back yet to train with the first team, this weekend's match against Chelsea is too early for him.

News of Martinez's nearing full recovery comes at a time when pressure is mounting on coach Ruben Amorim, as United have made a poor start, picking up just four points from four games.

The Red Devils dropped to 14th place on the rankings and were eliminated from the English League Cup by junior Grimsby in the second round.

So far, Amorim still receives the support of MU's Board of Directors and Sir Jim Ratcliffe, but if results do not improve, that could change.

Some players at Old Trafford felt uncomfortable with the 3-4-2-1 system, after Amorim replaced Ten Hag midway through last season.
