Lisandro Martinez Thanks Manchester United Fans for Support After Injury Return
Lisandro Martinez expressed his gratitude to Manchester United fans for their support as he made his return from a lengthy injury on Sunday. The team drew 2-2 with Tottenham at Old Trafford, with Martinez playing his first game since September. The Argentine defender came off the bench in the 63rd minute and performed well, helping to prevent Spurs from scoring a winning goal.
Impact of Martinez’s Absence
Martinez’s absence due to a foot injury has had a negative effect on the team. However, his return was a delightful sight for the fans in the stadium. Martinez took to Twitter to thank the supporters and express his pride in their reception. He also acknowledged that the result was not what they wanted but emphasized their determination to continue working hard.
Reviving United’s Fortunes
The return of Martinez, along with other key players like Casemiro, Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire, and Mason Mount, is hoped to revive Manchester United’s fortunes. The team currently sits seventh in the table, eight points off the top four. United legend Gary Neville believes that these players’ comeback will have a positive impact on the team’s performance. He also suggests that manager Erik ten Hag’s future may depend on how the team performs in the remaining months of the season.
United’s next match will be in the FA Cup fourth-round on January 28th, where they will face either Newport County or Eastleigh.
