Lisandro Martinez has chosen to stay at Manchester United, even though Napoli showed interest in signing him this summer.

The Argentine defender, who is 27 years old, is still healing from a serious knee injury he suffered back in February.

Since the injury was to his cruciate ligament, he may not return to playing until sometime next year, as recovery takes time.

Despite being sidelined, reports suggest Napoli wants to bring him in to strengthen their defence for the next season.

Last season, Napoli had a successful campaign after signing Martinez’s old United teammate Scott McTominay for just £25 million.

However, according to the Daily Mail, Martinez is not interested in a move. He is happy at Manchester United and wants to stay at Old Trafford.

Before the injury, Martinez was an important part of manager Ruben Amorim’s defence and is seen as one of the more experienced leaders in the team.
