Manchester United centre-back Lisandro Martinez was booked after a two-footed tackle on Crystal Palace's Daichi Kamada and another lucky escape followed for the ex-Ajax man

Lisandro Martinez was accused of almost costing Manchester United against Crystal Palace by trying to 'fight' Ismaila Sarr rather than tracking his run.

Moments later, though the ball was at the other end of the field and almost in the United goal. Eddie Nketiah tested Andre Onana with a low drive, and the United keeper picked himself back up to deny Ismaila Sarr from the rebound. "I tell you who is lucky here, Martinez," Redknapp said. "For some reason he is trying to get in a bit of a fight there. Sarr comes in, he follows it in and Martinez gets caught the wrong side. He is the one hesitating, he gets lucky his keeper bails him out.

Cameroonian goalkeeper Onana wasn't completely happy after the match, despite his heroics. "I don’t think it is so important because we didn’t win," he told Sky Sports. "We are such a big club. When we move somewhere, we have the ambition to try to win."Martinez's two-footed tackle was checked by VAR, but it was ruled that the on-field decision from referee David Coote should stand.
