The World Cup winner had already missed more than three months of last season due to complications with a broken metatarsal suffered at the end of his first campaign in England.
Martinez's injury is a major blow for Man United with the central defender having been a key player so far this season.
The Argentine has started 20 of the Red Devils' 22 Premier League matches this season.
In total, Martinez has featured in 32 matches for the club in all competitions this campaign, including playing in all eight of their Europa League ties.
Man United boss Ruben Amorim admitted ahead of the fourth round tie with Leicester that Martinez's injury will take time to recover from.
‘Licha is a difficult situation,' Amorim said.
'He’s going to be out for a while, we don’t know the extent of the injury, but it’s going to take time.’
