The Argentine centre-back appeared to jar his right knee in a collision with Vladimir Coufal and momentarily left the field for treatment before returning to the pitch.Clearly labouring as West Ham launched a quick counter attack, Martinez required attention again then made way for Raphael Varane as United closed out a comfortable 3-0 win at Old Trafford.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Martinez missed a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/kapan-lisandro-martinez-pulih-dan-kembali-untuk-manchester-united/blt3bc37b1f17a770ad" target="_blank">four-month stretch of the season</a> after suffering a foot injury in September, and United have looked a much steadier proposition in defence with the World Cup winner back in their ranks.Fans will be hoping that the injury picked up during an <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-west-ham-rasmus-hojlund-alejandro-garnacho/blt69f35ed25e1d4c75" target="_blank">otherwise bright performance by United</a> will not keep Martinez on the sidelines for an extended length of time.

Martinez's September injury was the longest of his career so far having rarely missed a game in his spell with Ajax before his £47 million ($59.4m) move to Manchester. The Argentina international was one of United's star players are they finished third in the Premier League and lifted the Carabao Cup last season.
