Ruben Amorim believes Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez has suffered a "serious" injury.
Martinez went down with an injury just after the 75th minute in Sunday's game against Crystal Palace and was taken off on a stretcher after receiving medical attention.
The centre-back's knee appeared to buckle after landing from an aerial duel and he looked distraught as he was taken off on a stretcher, raising fears he'd suffered a serious injury.

Amorim was asked to provide an update on Martinez by MUTV and said: "He's going to be seen by the doctor, but I think it's a serious situation, so it's really bad for our team."
During his post-match press conference, Amorim told reporters: "Licha is really important for us, not just as a football player, but as a character, especially in this hard moment. Now it’s time to help Licha. I think it’s a bad situation. Let’s wait to assess things with the doctor but I think it’s a serious situation."
Martinez will now be assessed by medical staff. Fans will hope for positive news, but the 27-year-old could be facing another lengthy spell on the sidelines.
Since signing from Ajax in the summer of 2022, Martinez has dealt with a metatarsal fracture, a foot injury and a knee injury, meaning he's missed a lot of football since his arrival at United.
In February 2024, Martinez damaged the medial collateral ligament in his knee during a clash with West Ham and was subsequently absent for most of the second half of last season.
