Lisandro Martinez has suffered another injury in the World Cup Final, raising fresh questions about his long-term availability and whether Manchester United can continue planning around him. This episode reacts to the latest setback, what it means for Michael Carrick's squad, and whether the club now has to seriously consider replacing him - and whether they CAN and SHOULD spend big on a centre back THIS SUMMER in order to fix the problem. There is discussion on why that isn't necessarily the most simple thing to do - given the need in other positions - and there's a run through of why it's a careful balancing act of prioritising a number of different things in the defence as the squad evolves - with Ayden Heaven and Leny Yoro's futures a big part of it.
