Lima has set a comeback goal for Manchester United and wants to return to the two teams early! Disappointed by doubts about long-term injury

Manchester United centre-back Lisandro Martinez’s personal goal is to return to the Premier League before the end of this month. Nicknamed the "Argentine Butcher", the player has been out for more than eight months since he tore the anterior cruciate ligament of his knee against Crystal Palace in February.

Lima underwent successful surgery in London shortly after the injury, but the club took a cautious approach to his recovery. It is said that Manchester United expects his return to be within this year, most likely after the international break next month.

However, scans last week showed that Lima's knee is in good condition and he will officially conduct full training with the first team this week after the international players return. How he performs in practice, as well as his body's feedback, will determine coach Ruben Amorim's plans for his use.

Due to Lima's positive attitude and the efforts he has put into his personal training plan, many people are optimistic about the 27-year-old Argentina international's situation and believe that he will be able to return to the game soon. However, his injury record in recent years has been worrying, and he may be injured again if he returns too early.

Once this happens, Manchester United may consider Lima's future, and there are questions about whether he will be considered part of the long-term plan. The British "Daily Mail" reported that Lima was disappointed with the difficulties encountered by the club and the doubts he encountered.

Lima was listed by Amorim as one of the six leaders in the locker room, but when the coach and teammates faced challenges, he was unable to do anything, which made him frustrated. Now, Lima hopes to come back early. He regards the two games against Brighton or Nottingham Forest as possible opportunities for his comeback.

Manchester United's plan is still to ensure that Lima can participate in the busy schedule in December, and hope that he will be fully prepared for his comeback. It is basically impossible for Lima to participate in Liverpool's "Double Red Club". If he plays in this game, the risk to the team and individual will be too great.

After the away game at Liverpool, Manchester United will return to home against Brighton on October 25, which will be the team's last game in October. The next game is the Premier League match against Nottingham Forest on November 1.

Lima hopes that he can participate in one of these two games. He may initially serve as a substitute and gradually adapt to the rhythm of the game. After all, he has been away from the stadium for 271 days this time and missed 33 games. It is unrealistic to expect him to immediately enter a state where one man is in charge and ten thousand men are unable to open it.

But Amorim very much hopes to have a healthy Lima, because his left-footed attributes, backcourt passing and confrontation capabilities are all vacancies that cannot be filled by existing players. Due to Lima's injury, Manchester United has used Luke Shaw as the left central defender most of the time this season. The English left back has performed well sometimes, but there have also been poor performances.

Famous Paul Parker believes that Luke Shaw's weakness may become a weakness for Manchester United's opponents, such as when facing Salah in an away game against Liverpool. "Salah will try to run behind the Manchester United defense with and without the ball because he knows Luke Shaw is weak and lazy, and he will keep pulling on the shirt and doing little things like that."

Parker analyzed: "Manchester United lacked discipline and did not Players who are trustworthy to play according to the requirements of the coach. You can complain about Amorim's system and he also uses the word elite to describe today's players. To be honest, it is absolute nonsense. If they are really elite, they need to be smart enough and dare to take a chance."
