Man Utd provide Martinez update after defender misses Palace clash
Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick has provided a positive fitness update on Lisandro Martinez, suggesting the defensive linchpin will not be sidelined for a significant period. The Argentina international was a notable absentee from the matchday squad that travelled to Everton last Monday, sparking fears of another long-term layoff for a player who has already endured a difficult run with injuries over the past two seasons. However, Carrick has moved to ease those concerns ahead of a busy schedule for the Red Devils.
