"Lisandro Martinez underwent both surgery and a rehabilitation programme in 2025 before he made his return to Manchester United first-team training last October. The World Cup winner has been an influential figure in both the defensive United set-up and as a key presence in the Red Devils dressing room at Old Trafford."
"The Man Utd duo were asked which Red Devils player felt most 'locked in' during a training session at the Premier League club, with Martinez singled out by the pair. Zirkzee added: 'Everyone has their own way of being focused. I think everyone is very focused during training. But I think with Licha, it's definitely most visible.'"
Lisandro Martinez, a 28-year-old Argentine defender, returned to Manchester United in November 2025 after recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained in February 2024. Following surgery and rehabilitation throughout 2025, Martinez resumed first-team training in October. Teammates Bryan Mbeumo and Joshua Zirkzee highlighted Martinez's influential presence both defensively and in the dressing room. During a podcast appearance, both players identified Martinez as the most visibly focused player during training sessions, emphasizing his role in establishing standards at Old Trafford. Martinez's leadership and commitment have made him a key figure in Ruben Amorim's Manchester United setup.
