Impact Martinez won't be an option for a depleted backline, as the Red Devils will also be missing Luke Shaw (undisclosed), Ayden Heaven (illness) and Patrick Dorgu (hamstring). Without Martinez, Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro are the options to provide cover at center-back. However, Carrick's words indicate the Argentina international will have a shot at playing against Bournemouth on Sunday.

Doubtful for Como clash Martinez (thigh) was not spotted in Manchester United's team training session Tuesday and is considered doubtful for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Como after picking u...

Impact Martinez faces uncertainty over his availability for Wednesday's European encounter after sustaining a thigh injury during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Leeds United. The defender experienced discomfort during the first half and was replaced by Noussair Mazraoui at halftime, with coach Michael Carrick subsequently confirming that the substitution was injury-related. His absence from Tuesday's training session suggests he has yet to recover sufficiently, although the severity of the problem remains unclear. With little time remaining before the Como fixture, Martinez appears at risk of missing the match unless he makes a late recovery. Mazraoui, who recently returned from his own injury absence, could be handed another opportunity in the starting lineup if Martinez is unavailable.

Impact Martinez was forced to leave Sunday's draw against Leeds after struggling with thigh discomfort during the first half, having been spotted crouching down on the pitch before being replaced by Noussair Mazraoui at the break. Coach Carrick confirmed that the substitution was injury-related rather than tactical, raising concerns about the Argentine defender's availability for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Como. The severity of the issue remains unclear, and further assessments will likely be needed to determine whether Martinez can recover in time for the midweek fixture. Mazraoui, who recently returned from his own injury absence, could benefit from additional playing time if Martinez is unable to feature, providing coach Carrick with another defensive option while the Argentine's fitness is evaluated.

Withdrawn at halftime against Leeds Martinez (knock) was substituted at halftime of Sunday's Premier League clash against Leeds United after apparently picking up a knock, according to Steven Railston.

Impact Martinez appeared to be struggling physically early in Sunday's encounter against Leeds, having been spotted crouching down before eventually being replaced by Noussair Mazraoui at halftime. Although a tactical substitution cannot be completely ruled out, the decision to introduce Mazraoui, who had only recently recovered from a minor injury, suggests Martinez may have been dealing with a physical issue. The nature and severity of the potential injury remain unclear, leaving his availability uncertain for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Como. Mazraoui could provide additional defensive cover if Martinez is unable to feature.

However, the situation has now been addressed internally, and the coaching staff have confirmed that he remains available for selection. Martinez has been a regular starter this season, featuring from the opening whistle in all five of his Premier League appearances while recording six shots, five tackles, four interceptions and 18 clearances.

Earns 36th Argentina cap Martinez played 81 minutes and helped Argentina keep a clean sheet in a 4-0 win over Bolivia, earning his 36th senior international cap, according to the club.

Impact Martinez delivered a solid outing in central defense as Argentina comfortably shut out Bolivia before he was replaced late in the match. The center-back has also been an undisputed starter for Manchester United this season, starting all four of his Premier League appearances. Martinez has recorded six shots, three tackles, two interceptions and 13 clearances in league play, maintaining a key role in United's back line.

Scores own goal Sunday Martinez had an own goal, four shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Fulham.

Impact Martinez opened the scoring Sunday, but he did it on the wrong end of the pitch. Senne Lammens parried a Fulham shot straight into Martinez, and the ball directed into the back of the net to give the home side the lead in the 63rd minute. It's a tough stat to go on Martinez's sheet, but it can hardly be characterized as his fault. Martinez desperately tried to get the goal back on the attack, recording a season-high four shots in his full 90 minutes of action.

Nets rare goal Martinez scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Thursday's 4-0 win versus Sabah FK.

Impact Martinez got on a ball in the box and finished with his only shot, making the most of Thursday's absolute rout. It was never going to be a competitive match, but still a goal and assist for Martinez is about as good of an outcome as he could have hoped for. Martinez should maintain a big role moving forward, though goals aren't likely to continue.

On bench in return Martinez (thigh) is back in United's squad for Saturday's final friendly against AC Milan, making the bench, the club posted.

Impact Martinez had missed the previous match against Leeds United, with coach Michael Carrick saying at the time he wasn't quite ready and was being held back specifically for this fixture. He was heavily involved in Argentina's World Cup run before suffering the thigh injury that sidelined him, contributing a goal and an assist over seven matches, and if fully fit by the start of the season, he figures to reclaim his undisputed role in the Red Devils' back line.

Named in squad vs. Milan Martinez (thigh) is back in Manchester United's squad to face AC Milan, the club announced.

Impact Martinez's return to the squad comes after he missed Wednesday's match against Leeds, with coach Michael Carrick saying at the time the player wasn't quite ready and was being preserved specifically for this fixture. He was heavily involved in Argentina's World Cup run before suffering the thigh injury, contributing through passes and decisive actions on both ends of the field, and scoring a goal and an assist over seven matches. If fully fit by the start of the season, he'll be a strong candidate to feature at the expense of Ayden Heaven. Martinez is expected to build up his match fitness in this final preseason test.

Impact Martinez is expected to see action in the final preparation game before the EPL opener versus Hull City, but it remains to be seen when he'll be back in the initial lineup. He was heavily involved in Argentina's World Cup run before suffering the injury, and he was a key piece of his nation's defense, contributing through passes and decisive actions on both ends of the field, and scoring one goal and one assist over seven matches. If he's fully fit by the start of the new season, he'll be a strong candidate to feature at the expense of Ayden Heaven.

Unlikely to face Leeds Martinez is unlikely to feature against Leeds United at Croke Park on Wednesday after only completing a handful of training sessions but is likely to play at least 30 minutes again...

Impact Martinez was forced off in the first half of the World Cup final against Spain with an apparent thigh injury, though it was later confirmed to be nothing serious. He reported for Manchester United duty in Ireland on Monday night but has only managed a handful of training sessions since, which makes him unlikely to be involved when United face Leeds United. The plan instead points to easing him in with at least half an hour of action in the friendly against AC Milan on Saturday, ahead of the season opener, a sensible buildup given he is expected to be a key figure in United's backline after starting every league match under head coach Michael Carrick.

AUGUST 12 • ROTOWIRE

Arrives in Ireland for preseason Martinez has arrived in Ireland to prepare for the new 2026/27 Premier League season with Manchester United, according to the club.

Impact Martinez was recently spotted doing individual training while on holiday in Ibiza, an encouraging early sign after his thigh injury cut short Argentina's World Cup semifinal against Spain. He had started all seven of the tournament's matches, recording two clean sheets, seven interceptions, 13 tackles and 36 clearances along with a goal and an assist, and his arrival with the squad now shifts focus to building back toward full fitness after already battling back from an ACL injury that wrecked his previous campaign, with United's season opener against Hull City set for August 22.
