Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez has thanked fans after his first season in England ended prematurely.

A broken metatarsal suffered against Sevilla in midweek has seen Lisandro ruled out for the remainder of the season.

Martinez posted to social media: "Not the way I imagined what's been a very special season would end, but sometimes we face obstacles along the way that we have to overcome to make us stronger and we learn from them. I know that I'll be back very soon to go for more.

"In the meantime, I'll continue to support all my team-mates to achieve our objectives.

"The number of messages and support I've received has been amazing, they're giving me strength and encouragement at this moment. Many, many thanks to you all from the bottom of my heart."
