“It’s a dream to score my first goal for Manchester United, I’m really happy for that,” he told MUTV. “In the end, it was not the result I wanted, but we have to keep going.

“It was amazing (to celebrate with fans), the fans are incredible, they always support us and are always there for us. The minimum we can do is give everything of us.”

Despite his goal, Martinez says that the squad has to be strong, and said that this kind of end to a game cannot happen again.

“It was tough, for sure. It was hard. We have to be strong, we have to learn from every experience. It cannot happen again. We have to be really focused on the game and kill the game, we have to win.
