Man United manager Erik ten Hag has sorely missed Lisandro Martinez's presence, as it has impacted the way he wants his team to play.
It was somewhat typical of Manchester United to produce one of their best performances of the season so far against the backdrop of another defeat.
But if they do manage to turn their fortunes around and progress to the last-16, manager Erik ten Hag will be hoping United will have ironed out their problems and shaken off the worst of their injury crisis by the time those fixtures arrive. The Dutchman, in his defence, has had absolutely no luck with injuries so far this season, losing one key player after another.
Though United had hardly been blistering and faultless at the start of the season, he has been sorely missed over the duration of almost the last two months. He was virtually an ever-present figure in the Reds' defence last season prior to suffering his metatarsal fracture, enjoying an excellent debut campaign after his arrival from Ajax in July 2022.
Though those responsibilities usually fall to a midfielder, Martinez was vitally important in making that possible. Renowned as one of the best ball-playing centre-backs in the business, the Argentine often brought the ball out from the back and contributed to the defensive build-up. United, by and large, have failed to do that this season, certainly since Martinez has been absent. They have failed to control matches as comfortably, often mixing up their style, either by going long or relying on their wide players to try and create chances when nothing has been on.
