Summarised by MatchPal
Martinez was substituted at half-time due to a thigh issue; he felt discomfort during the first half and did not return for the second half.
Lisandro Martinez started for Manchester United against Leeds United on Sunday but was withdrawn at half-time after feeling his thigh. Manager Michael Carrick explained the substitution was precautionary, with Martinez having been spotted hobbling during the opening 45 minutes. Noussair Mazraoui replaced him, and Leeds equalized in the second half as the match ended 1-1. Martinez is now a doubt for United's Champions League trip to Como on Wednesday.
