Manchester United defender Lisandro Martínez is making excellent progress in his recovery and could make a return to action by the end of October.

The Argentine centre-back has been sidelined for several weeks due to injury, but recent updates from the club suggest he’s on track to rejoin the squad sooner than expected. His comeback would provide a significant defensive boost for Erik ten Hag’s team, who have struggled with consistency at the back this season.

Martínez’s leadership, composure, and ability to play out from the back are key attributes that Manchester United have missed. With his return on the horizon, fans will be hopeful of seeing a stronger and more balanced defence as the season progresses.
