Lisandro Martinez was spotted on crutches after Manchester United’s game with Sevilla on Thursday night.

The Red Devils threw away a two-goal lead late on after conceding two freak own-goals, meaning they have to get a result in their second-leg fixture in Spain next week.

But to make matters worse they will be without some key players with Marcus Rashford still out injured, Bruno Fernandes serving a suspension and now Martinez who had to be carried off the pitch.

“Back to Maguire and Lindelof center pairing then. Lord I hate days like this.” said one fan.

“Nah! That’s 8 months right there . Damn!” a second fan tweeted.

Speaking on Friday, Erik ten Hag said there is no injury update for the Argentine or Raphael Varane who also appeared to pick up a knock.
