Manchester United was shaken by Dominic Solanke in the 15th minute of the first half, Dejan Kulusevski in the 1st minute of the second half, and Solanke in the 9th minute of the second half. There was no giving up. He scored without missing the opponent's goalkeeper's mistake. Manchester United went after Joshua Zirkjay in the 18th minute of the second half and Ahmad Diallo in the 25th minute of the second half. However, he gave Son Heung-min the winning goal in the 43rd minute of the second half, and was unable to avoid defeat despite Johnny Evans' chasing goal.

According to the media, fans said 'It's a really shocking defense. Ruined the game', 'Martinez hasn't been in good form in the last few months. I was suspicious. They responded completely differently from the first season, such as ', 'Replacement is needed'.
According to another British media outlet, Daily Mail, commentator Gary Neville said, `This is the quality of Son Heung-min and Madison. Martinez's clearance is absolutely awful." Commentator Jamie Carragher also said "Martinez did a really good job in his first season. You might think he's a perfect fit for a three-back. But he didn't look comfortable since manager Amorim came in.
Meanwhile, Martinez wore United's jersey through the summer 2022 transfer window. His transfer fee was £57 million at the time. Martinez played 27 English Premier League (EPL) games in the 2023-2024 season. However, in the 2023-2024 season, he played only 11 league games due to injuries. He returned healthy this season and has already played in 13 league games. However, he has been criticized by fans for his sloppy play in succession.
Recently, he has been embroiled in rumors of a transfer to Real Madrid (Spain). Team Talk, a British media outlet, said ahead of the match that `Real Madrid is expected to improve its team by recruiting Martinez.'
