Lisandro Martinez shared his thoughts on Manchester United’s 3-2 defeat to Arsenal.
United played decently in the first half, almost matching Arsenal in possession.
Marcus Rashford‘s opener was cancelled out by Eddie Nketiah.
In the second half, Arsenal stepped it up and pushed United’s defensive line further back.
The Gunners took the lead courtesy of Bukayo Saka, but United responded back with a towering goal from Martinez.
The Argentine was the standout player for United throughout the game.
In his post-match interview, he spoke about how the team must pick themselves up and move on.
“We are disappointed because we wanted to win the match.”
“We have to raise our heads and keep fighting. It’s hard, but that’s how it is. You have to be strong. We have to also learn from it. This can’t happen again.”
