Lisandro Martinez travelled to London on Thursday night to undergo surgery on the ACL injury he suffered in Manchester United's defeat to Crystal Palace.

The Argentine defender, who will miss the rest of the season, took to social media to thank fans of Manchester United and the Argentina national team for all their support and to assure them that he will give his all in the rehabilitation process.

"Today, after going through several stormy days where I allowed myself to feel and accept my sadness, helplessness, insecurities, fears, and a deep emotional imbalance, I am reconnecting with my essence and my values, which help me see things from a kinder and more positive perspective," he wrote.

" The surgery went perfectly! Now it’s time to give it my all, with heart and soul, in the rehabilitation process," he concluded.
