Man Utd's Lisandro Martinez is struggling to show his best form this season.
Lisandro Martinez raised his hands in disbelief and slapped the net. Andre Onana stood motionless. The blame for Nottingham Forest's decisive goal on Saturday was shared between the pair but it felt like Martinez was more at fault than his goalkeeper, who had already made a blunder.

He's certainly not the only member of the dressing room who is guilty of underperforming but his drop-off has been noticeable.ALSO READ: Ratcliffe makes brutal admission about United transfer business The problem is that season ended 18 months ago and players are judged on current levels. Rashness has crept into Martinez's game - he has increasingly jumped into tackles and mistimed challenges - and his distribution from the back has worsened, which has impacted build-up play.
Martinez has struggled with a few injuries in the last year-and-a-half and he has failed to reach the levels he showed before picking up a metatarsal injury in the spring of 2023.
