Martinez suffered a metatarsal fracture in Europa League’s 1st leg 1/4 final against Sevilla in mid-April and was ruled out for the remainder of the campaign.

The Argentinian has enjoyed a prolific debut season with the Red Devils, featuring in 45 games after a £47m move from Ajax last summer. He has been the backbone in United’s defense and has contributed massively for the significant progress the Old Trafford has made since the arrival of new manager Ten Hag.
