“It pains me to say this but this is the truth the club won’t tell you. I know it will break the heart if the fans but we have not choice. I was even shocked when I noticed it”-Rio Ferdinand reveals worrying thing he noticed about Lisandro Martinez injury that could ‘kill’ Man Utd
Rio Ferdinand has voiced his concern about Manchester United’s season following Lisandro Martinez’s injury during their clash with West Ham United. The former defender highlighted Martinez’s integral role in the team and the strong partnership he shares with Luke Shaw. Ferdinand worries that Martinez’s injury, potentially ligament-related, could have a detrimental effect on the team’s performance.
During his FIVE podcast, Ferdinand noted Martinez’s attempt to continue playing despite the injury before eventually being forced off the field. He emphasized the significance of Martinez and Shaw’s presence on the pitch, describing them as dominant, confident, and composed when working together. Ferdinand also praised Martinez’s ability to initiate attacks with forceful passes and acknowledged his role in setting up scoring opportunities.
Manchester United has already faced a series of injuries this season, and Martinez’s absence adds to their challenges. Ferdinand expressed disappointment at the prospect of losing one of their most influential players and acknowledged Martinez’s contribution to the team’s recent unbeaten run.
Despite Martinez’s positive impact on the team’s performance, his injury leaves manager Erik ten Hag facing the possibility of having to navigate matches without a key defender. This setback underscores the importance of squad depth and resilience as Manchester United seeks to maintain their competitive edge in the ongoing season.
