Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez has rejected interest from Napoli and committed his future to the Red Devils, despite currently being sidelined with a serious injury.

The 27-year-old Argentine international, who is still recovering from a cruciate ligament injury sustained in February, has been the subject of transfer speculation linking him with a move to the Serie A champions.

According to reports, Martinez has no intention of leaving Old Trafford and remains happy at the club where he has established himself as a key figure in manager Ruben Amorim's defensive setup.

Injury Recovery Continues

The World Cup winner may not return to action until next year as he continues his rehabilitation from the serious knee injury. Despite this extended absence, Martinez remains a valued member of the squad and is considered one of the experienced leaders within the team.

Napoli's interest comes after they successfully signed Martinez's former teammate Scott McTominay from Manchester United last season for £25 million. The Scottish midfielder has thrived in Italy, contributing to Napoli's league success.

Commitment to United

Despite the potential opportunity to follow McTominay's path to Serie A, Martinez has shown his loyalty to Manchester United. Before his injury setback, the defender had cemented his place as a crucial component in United's backline.

Martinez's decision represents a boost for Amorim, who views the Argentine as an important part of his plans to strengthen Manchester United's defensive capabilities once he returns to full fitness.

The defender joined Manchester United in 2022 and quickly became a fan favorite for his passionate displays and commitment on the pitch, earning the nickname 'The Butcher' for his tenacious tackling and aggressive style of play.
