Ruben Amorim will be ecstatic with fresh news out of Carrington this afternoon regarding player who stunned Guardiola

Lisandro Martinez has returned to full first-team training with the rest of the squad at Carrington today.

The news was confirmed by Manchester United’s official website, which adds that the Argentine international has now made a ‘significant step’ in his rehabilitation by getting back out on the grass.

Previously, when pressed on Martinez’s condition, Ruben Amorim has been reluctant to state a specific time frame as to when fans can expect to see him in action.

United’s coaching staff – along with the physios – have been careful not to rush the centre-half’s recovery for fear of him playing too soon and suffering another setback.

Throughout this three-year Old Trafford tenure thus far, Martinez has been plagued by unrelenting fitness concerns.

He has been limited to just 91 appearances across all competitions and has missed a whopping 81 matches.
