Nevertheless, Younger has now questioned whether or not that was certainly the case.
He stated on the most recent instalment of The Overlap Day by day: “Clearly, all week the whole lot was Lisandro Martinez. As an alternative of making extra of a hype round it by leaving him out – when it will be the speak earlier than the sport after which it will be the speak after the sport – play him.
“He got here off at half-time with an damage. Is he injured? If he’s injured, it’s comprehensible if he doesn’t play within the Como recreation. However I’m undecided.
“Going to Leeds away is a troublesome place, and after the week that he had, can you again that? Are you injured? Yeah, presumably. We’ll see.”

In the meantime, Michael Carrick has already dominated the Argentine out of tonight’s conflict with Como, and added that he stays a doubt for the weekend’s Premier League encounter at residence to Bournemouth.
Martinez is presently overseeing the ultimate 12 months of his contract at Outdated Trafford, after which United have the choice of extending his keep by an extra 12 months.
Stories have recommended they’ll accomplish that, however solely in order that they’ll then offload him subsequent summer time and recoup a payment for his signature.
His latest outburst in Madrid, in addition to his torrid damage file, has seemingly achieved sufficient to persuade INEOS he’d be greatest off transferring on in 2027.
The 28-year-old was reportedly eager on following within the footsteps of his shut good friend and compatriot Cristian Romero and finishing a change to Atletico Madrid earlier than 2026/2027 bought underway, so they might presumably be his first selection when the window reopens.
