Manchester United to decide Martinez' future soon

Manchester United officials are preparing to meet with representatives of Argentine defender Lisandro Martinez in the coming days or weeks to discuss his future with the club and determine his stance on remaining at Old Trafford . Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that Manchester United's management hopes to meet with Martinez's representatives soon to clarify both sides' positions regarding the player's future and agree on his next steps with the club in 2027. Manchester United has a clause in the Argentine defender's contract that allows him to extend his stay with the club for an additional year, until June 2027, which will be the focus of the anticipated discussions between the management and the player's representatives . The meeting is expected to determine whether the club will activate the extension clause or allow Martinez to leave the team in 2027, as the management seeks to finalize the player's future . This comes after the Argentine defender faced criticism from Manchester United fans for his performance in the recent 2-0 loss to Chelsea, which could be one of the factors discussed regarding his future.
