WHAT HAPPENED? Martinez came off far worse in an aerial duel with Jean-Philippe Mateta on Wednesday, suffering a heavy blow to the head that left him bloodied and in need of treatment.



THE BIGGER PICTURE: Fortunately, Martinez was able to keep going in his second start since returning from World Cup duty with Argentina.
WHAT NEXT FOR MAN UTD? The Red Devils will be relieved that Martinez avoided serious injury, as they'll rely on the defender this weekend at Arsenal.
