The Argentine made his first league start since September for the Red Devils and he was hugely involved in the second half as Wolves looked to get back into the game.

The €50 million-rated star saved the blushes of goalkeeper Andre Onana with a terrific goal-line clearance and also made a couple of key blocks to deny Pedro Neto in the box.

Andre Onana came close to committing another howler as he came out of the goal to make a save.

The ball slipped through his hands and, unfortunately, he clattered into a Wolves player and fell, leaving the goal open.

The ball would have gone in with the momentum but Martinez, ever on the prowl, positioned himself well to make a fantastic block.

Martinez was substituted in the 86th minute when United were leading 3-2. It seemed like a precautionary measure. He had an ice pack placed on his left foot.

United were not convincing defensively after Martinez was taken off, but they deserved the victory, considering the amount of chances created over the course of 90 minutes.

The club could have easily been four or five goals ahead in the opening half. They missed some big chances while the crossing was not up to the mark in key situations.
