Manchester United fans are expressing concern about the team’s chances for the rest of the season following news that both Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane have been ruled out with injuries.
The defensive duo sustained their injuries during the Europa League quarter-final first-leg match against Sevilla at Old Trafford on Thursday night.
After seeing their two first-choice centre-backs leave the field with injuries, fans were understandably worried about the severity of their condition.

Unfortunately, their fears have been confirmed by the club, which has now confirmed that both players will be unavailable for the foreseeable future.
The loss of Martinez and Varane is a major blow for Manchester United as they enter a crucial period of the season.
With key matches coming up in both the Premier League and the Europa League, the team will need to find a way to cope without their two defensive stalwarts.
United announced in a statement on Friday that Martinez will miss the remainder of the season after fracturing a metatarsal bone in his foot.
However, he is expected to make a full recovery from the injury, which he suffered during the closing stages of the draw with Sevilla, ahead of the start of next season.
As for Varane, he has been ruled out for a few weeks after being taken off at half-time by manager Erik ten Hag. The news has United fans worried as their club continues to compete on three fronts this term.
However, while the news is undoubtedly disappointing for fans and the team alike, there is still cause for optimism.
As Manchester United moves forward without two of their key players, fans will be hoping that the team can rise to the occasion and continue to compete at the highest level.
