The Argentinian player has been sidelined since the beginning of the year, having torn his anterior cruciate ligament in a Premier League match against Crystal Palace.

Lisandro Martinez underwent successful surgery at the end of February, marking the beginning of a long recovery journey.

Nearly seven months have passed, and it seems Martinez is finally about to return, as he shared photos of himself jogging lightly on the grass.

With the left-sided center-back yet to have trained with the first team, this weekend's match against Chelsea is still too soon for him.

News of Martinez's nearing full recovery comes at a time when pressure is mounting on manager Ruben Amorim, as Manchester United have had a poor start to the season, only managing 4 points from 4 matches.

Manchester United dropped to 14th place in the league table and were knocked out of the English League Cup by lower-league side Grimsby in the second round.

To date, Amorim still enjoys the support of the MU board and Sir Jim Ratcliffe, but that could change if results don't improve.

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