Manchester United is celebrating the return of Lisandro Martinez, their talented center-back, to Carrington as he enters the final phase of his recovery from a foot injury.
The Argentine defender suffered a broken bone in his foot during an intense Europa League quarter-final clash with Sevilla back in April, which forced him to miss the remainder of the season. However, after undergoing surgery to address the injury, Martinez has been diligently working towards his comeback, and it seems that things are progressing well for the 25-year-old, as he expressed his delight on Twitter upon his return to Carrington, saying, “So happy to be here!”
Looking ahead, Manchester United’s pre-season is set to kick off on July 10, with a fixture against Lyon in Edinburgh scheduled for nine days later.
Nevertheless, before that encounter, United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, has organized a friendly match against Leeds United in Norway on July 12. These initial warm-up games will serve as valuable preparation for the team before they embark on their pre-season tour in the United States.
During their time in the US, Manchester United has lined up a series of high-profile matches against prominent opponents. Their pre-season campaign includes games against Arsenal, Wrexham, Real Madrid, and Borussia Dortmund, providing exciting challenges for the team as they gear up for the upcoming season. The tour will culminate in a final friendly match against Athletic Club in Dublin, Ireland, on August 5.
Following this intense period of pre-season preparation, Manchester United will have a crucial nine-day window to finalize their arrangements before the commencement of their Premier League campaign. The team’s opening fixture will be against Wolves at their home ground, promising an exhilarating start to their pursuit of success in the league.
Martinez’s return to Carrington marks an important step forward for both the player and the club, and his recovery progress will undoubtedly be closely monitored by fans and the coaching staff alike.
Manchester United’s pre-season tour presents a valuable opportunity for the team to fine-tune their tactics, build chemistry, and test their mettle against tough opponents ahead of the demanding Premier League season.
The club’s supporters eagerly anticipate witnessing their beloved team in action and hope that this pre-season preparation will set the stage for a successful and memorable campaign.
