Former Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea sends a heartwarming message to ex-teammate Lisandro Martinez. The Argentine superstar sadly suffered a very serious knee injury and is out for the rest of the remaining campaign. 

Lisandro Martinez Out Until 2026?

With the latest blow, things couldn’t have gotten any worse for David De Gea’s former team, Manchester United. Lisandro Martinez was stretchered off the pitch in the second half of United’s 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace. Everyone could witness the Argentine in literal tears. Further tests revealed that the defender has been diagnosed with an anterior cruciate ligament tear and will miss the remainder of the season and also the start of next season. The Argentine is expected to miss 8 to 10 months of football this year. 

After a rough start to the season and some inconsistent displays, the 26-year-old was finally starting to find his groove. He has been well-praised for his brilliant passing ability and being a goal-scoring threat lately. However, looking at how unfortunate things have been for Manchester United lately, the “butcher” was the center of it, with his ACL injury adding to the club’s woes. 

“Like A Warrior,” Quotes David De Gea

David De Gea’s heartfelt motivational message to Lisandro Martínez is a clear testament to his undeniable love for his former club, where he was known as a legend. The 34-year-old shared a picture of himself and the Argentine together and captioned it, “As always you do things… Like a warrior.”

This showcases his support for the 26-year-old to return stronger than ever for the next season. The Spanish himself is having an extraordinary season in Serie A with Fiorentina after a year as a free agent. 

End Of Rant

Manchester United’s Premier League campaign is somewhat over, as it’s highly unlikely that the Red Devils would finish in a European spot. They’d be lucky enough to finish in the top half of the table as things stand, and Lisandro Martinez’s injury could significantly affect their progress. Ruben Amorim’s side take one Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s Leicester City in the fourth round of the FA Cup next. For more fearless sports coverage, visit Stadium Rant.
