The two defenders have both suffered muscle injuries following the 1-1 draw against Brentford.

Lindelof was forced off during the match in the 69th minute after picking up a hamstring injury.

Martinez replaced the Swede in what was his first appearance for the Red Devils since early February.

However in another blow to manager Erik ten Hag the Argentine has suffered a calf strain in training.

Man United fans have reacted to the news on social media.

One posted: “The season is over! It is cursed.”

A second wrote: “Get well soon my boy Praying for a speedy recovery.”

A third commented: “This guy will never be the same player again, I’m devastated.”
