Critics were initially skeptical about the diminutive Martinez when he joined United from Ajax in 2022.
Despite standing at just 5 ft 9 in, many believed he’d struggle against Premier League attackers, but he has generally impressed, becoming one of United’s better signings in recent years.
However, his time at Old Trafford has been marred by injuries, limiting his appearances, but when fit, he’s been crucial, contributing to United’s Carabao Cup win.
Despite this, Manchester United’s owners have reportedly made it clear that no player is untouchable, and they’ve also considered selling academy graduate Marcus Rashford.
Real Madrid, while focused on acquiring Trent Alexander-Arnold, have been linked with Martinez as a potential signing.
Though influential, Martinez has faced criticism, with some pundits accusing him of being weak in physical duels, especially after a shaky performance against Nottingham Forest.
