These setbacks have prevented him from building on a positive first season at the club that saw him quickly endear himself to supporters.<\/p>\n<p>The newspaper points out, &#8220;Manchester United coaching staff believe their squad has too few vocal leaders and that the injured Lisandro Mart\u00ednez has been sorely missed in that regard.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Guardian understands Erik ten Hag\u2019s coaching staff have noticed how much quieter the changing-room environment is in Mart\u00ednez\u2019s absence and believe this had been detrimental to performances and results.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Although Mart\u00ednez is not the only vocal player, his presence is considered vital in creating a winning mentality and driving the squad on. The captain, Bruno Fernandes, is the on-field leader and leads by example.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The report adds that United are hopeful Martinez will be consistently available next season.<\/p>\n<p>Up next for Ten Hag and his players is the daunting task of facing title challengers Arsenal at Old Trafford this weekend.<br \/>\n<HR><br \/>\n<em>Want to be the first to hear breaking Man United news?
