Manchester United will be a stronger force next season, according to an injured star.

Defender Lisandro Martinez, who missed the end of the season with an ankle injury, spoke after United lost the FA Cup final.

Despite the pain of watching their rivals Manchester City pick up a second trophy on the way to a historic treble, Martinez is optimistic about next season.

Taking to Instagram he said: “It's all part of the process, we keep our heads up and are proud because this group gave their all until the last second.

“I'm certain that the good and positive thing about all of this is that we'll come back stronger!

“I finish my first season at this amazing club feeling really fortunate and happy to be part of the United family. Thank you very much to everyone and see you soon!"
