Manchester United don reportedly dey hopeful say Lisandro Martinez go return to action before 2025 end, as the Argentine international dey make steady progress for him recovery journey.
Martinez bin suffer serious knee injury since February, and even though he don start light training, he never still join full session with the rest of the team.
The club don dey avoid giving specific date for him return, but according to The Sun, the 27-year-old fit come back before the year end, possibly after the November international break.
If all go well, Martinez fit be available for selection when United face Everton on November 24.

Man United Don Miss Martinez Since February
Martinez join United from Ajax for summer of 2022 and don represent the club 91 times, scoring three goals and assisting three.
Since he get injured, United coach Ruben Amorim don clearly miss am — especially because Martinez dey fit perfectly for the left side of a three-man defence.
Amorim earlier this season explain how much him value the Argentine:
“It’s really important seeing Martinez back on the grass. When you have that kind of injury, there’s a time where you recover fast, and then one boring stage where it feels like nothing dey move again.
We miss Licha a lot — his aggression, his intensity, how he dey approach everything. Even though he never play, he still dey attend every meeting, every training. We need Licha in this team.”
That talk show say the manager no just miss am as player — he miss him mentality and leadership too.

Good news dey finally show for United fans — the return of Lisandro Martinez go restore some bite and composure to Amorim’s defence.
Even though recovery still dey ongoing, everything point say Licha go be back before December end, giving United that needed stability before the busy Christmas fixtures start.
