It is the second time the 27-year-old has suffered a serious knee injury, having been forced out for eight weeks in February 2024.
On that occasion, the issue was with Martinez’s right knee, with his latest injury suffered to his left leg.
The star defender was playing against Crystal Palace when he was involved in a duel with Ismaila Sarr.
Coming out of the challenge, Martinez immediately looked to be in pain and signaled to the bench that he needed to come off.
After a lengthy period of treatment, the defender was left in tears as he was stretchered off the pitch in heartbreaking scenes.
Reflecting on the injury, Ruben Amorim said: “We are going to see in the next days but I think it is a serious situation.
“He is not only a great player but a strong character in the dressing room.
“He felt it and when you are a player, you know when it is something serious.
“We are here to help him in this difficult moment like he has helped us.”

It’s the first time since 1983 United have gone four league games without a goal against the same opponent.
Palace have now won four of their last six visits to Old Trafford.
