Man United fans have made up their mind about selling Lisandro Martinez after his World Cup final injury

Lisandro Martinez was forced to withdraw from the 2026 World Cup final with a thigh injury as Argentina lost to Spain.

Manchester United’s only representative in the 2026 World Cup final was defender Lisandro Martinez, and he was forced to watch from the sidelines after his injury in the 44th minute.

Martinez’s injury record is woeful. Since joining United in 2022, he has missed over 600 days of action through injuries.

With a month to go until the start of the 2026/27 Premier League season, Michael Carrick is now facing a centre-back dilemma.

Lisandro Martinez suffered another injury in the World Cup Final – Should he be part of Man Utd’s plans for 2026/27?

Is Martinez's talent worth putting up with the constant injuries?

Man United should sell him and get another defender. Due to his injury last season, he was sidelined for 6 months. He becomes a liability to Man United

With all the injury issues to De Ligt, we need Martinez to be reliable too. And the truth is he’s not. If not this summer then CB needs to be a priority in 2027

The general consensus among fans is that Martinez’s time is up and that United should be looking to move on from the 2022 World Cup winner.

Legs gone. Not his fault but Utd can’t afford to carry passengers. Won’t find a buyer for him now but shouldn’t take the option to extend. Let him leave for free next summer, hopefully with a trophy or two. He deserves it

My view was that he would return injured, but never saw it happening during a match. If possible, time to move him on and not just for injuries. His statement with the banner was enough for me to never want to see him in a United shirt ever again. Fine him for that and bringing club into disrepute somehow and then get rid!!

Fans have run out of patience with Martinez, and his centre-back teammate Matthijs de Ligt, who has also had his fair share of injury issues.

Another player like Mount and De Ligt who are always injured; you cannot rely on them

Why Man United will struggle to sell Lisandro Martinez

As easy as it is for a fan to say that a player should be sold, the reality is much more difficult.

The severity of Martinez’s injury is yet to be revealed, but while he is sidelined there is slim chance of clubs wanting to sign him.

United know through Ederson’s failed medical how deals can collapse based on a player’s fitness.

On top of his injury, Martinez has one year remaining on his contract so clubs know he will be available as a free agent if they wait.
