Ferdinand expresses concern over this Man Utd star injury

Former Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand has reacted to Lisandro Martinez’s injury and how it could affect the club’s form.

Martinez sustained an injury during Man Utd’s win vs West Ham.

During the second half, the Argentine delved into a tackle against Vladimir Coufal.

Although, Martinez won the challenge but not before the West Ham man’s entire body weight came crashing down on his knee.

He tried to play through the match but couldn’t and was replaced by Raphael Varane.

Speaking on his Vibe with Five YouTube channel, Ferdinand shared how big of a loss Martinez could be for Man Utd.

The six‐time Premier League winner said, “He got a little injury. He done his knee. I see he tweaked it.”

“I think that looks like ligaments, man. He tried to carry on and then said, ‘No, no, no I’ve got to go’. So, listen, if he’s out, it kills it. ”

“You can see with him and Luke Shaw on that side, when they’re together, they look so dominant, they look so confident, they look so composed with the ball.”

“And those two are really good with the ball in terms of setting up attacks, the ball generally comes from that side. Any of the good stuff we do, Martinez, even you see for the first goal, he clips it in. Yes it goes to [Kurt] Zouma and he heads it down and Casemiro intercepts and we get the goal off that, but it’s because Martinez is playing forward, he’s playing forceful passes.”

Ferdinand added, “So that will be disappointing. We’ve had so many injuries and he’s one of them that’s been out of a while and he’s probably one of our most influential players.”
