(Reuters) - Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez said he has successfully undergone surgery after being ruled out for the remainder of the season due to a fractured metatarsal bone.

In a post on Instagram, Martinez said the operation "went really well" and that he was now focusing on recovery.
The 25-year-old's injury comes with United looking to cement third place in the Premier League and capture the Europa League and FA Cup titles.
