He is washed up as a top class player. Has been for a long time now.
Evident by that when Piers Morgan handed United a lifeline enabling them to get rid of him there was zero interest from anyone in taking him on for free. Zero interest because he hasn't been able to perform over 90 minutes for a long time now at any decent standard.
Martinez needs to explain why he persisted with a player for 2 x 120 minutes who is currently playing in a league at the level of English league two.
Who was running the team? Ronaldo? Portuguese FA? Because that is not a coaching decision to leave him on? Difference between Messi and Ronaldo is ego. Messi knows he's well past his prime and has accepted it. Ronaldo. Still has to be the man.
