Manchester United will be without defender Lisandro Martinez for their Premier League fixture against Aston Villa on November 8, 2026. The Argentine center-back has been a regular starter for Erik ten Hag's side this season.
The reason for Martinez's absence has not been officially confirmed by the club. Speculation ranges from a minor injury to tactical rotation, but no statement has been released ahead of kickoff at Old Trafford.
United will likely turn to Victor Lindelof or Harry Maguire to partner Raphael Varane in central defense. Aston Villa, meanwhile, will look to exploit any defensive uncertainty as they aim for a positive result on the road.
