Martínez was visibly distressed as he was stretchered off the pitch in the 76th minute after a challenge with Ismaila Sarr.
Amorim described the situation as "serious," highlighting Martínez's significant role both on and off the field. He stated, "He is not only a great player but a strong character in the dressing room. He felt it, and when you are a player, you know when it is something serious." The coach emphasized the team's commitment to supporting Martínez during this challenging time.
This injury compounds United's difficulties, as the team has struggled in recent matches, including a home defeat to Crystal Palace. Amorim acknowledged the team's performance, noting, "The result is really bad. The performance was a little bit better than the last games. We controlled the transitions quite well for Crystal Palace. We suffered two goals that we can avoid, and the injury on Lisandro Martínez was tough for the team."
The loss to Crystal Palace marks United's seventh defeat in their first 13 home league games, a record not seen since the 1893-94 season. Amorim expressed his understanding of the fans' frustrations, stating, "It’s normal for the fans to feel negative; it is a hard season for them. But football can change in certain moments. I will prepare the next game and move forward. Better things will come."
As United faces a challenging period, the club remains focused on supporting Martínez and addressing the team's performance issues.
