was full of praise for Amorim when the Portuguese coach was asked about Martinez’s presence on Sunday.

“If you put him on the pitch he can play today without hesitation,” Amorim said.

“Because he loves the club, he wants to help the team, he understands the context. Like I said, he’s a great character and he’s very important in the dressing room.”

Martinez made 32 appearances for United in all competitions this season before suffering a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament. And his absence has left the team struggling for a player,

with Christian Eriksen also speaking about Martinez when asked about his presence, and the Dane pointed out that the Argentina international’s influence on the team has not diminished despite the seriousness of his injury. “

We see him a lot at training, so he’s still part of the team and we know what he’s going through with his recovery, along with a couple of other players,” Eriksen told แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำV after the game.
