LISANDRO MARTINEZ stunned fans with a brilliant passage of play against Bayern Munich that led some to suggest he should be playing in midfield.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Manchester United defender dazzled with his footwork in the second half of the 4-3 Champions League defeat.<\/p>\n Marcus Rashford played the ball back to Martinez, who had limited passing options and two Bayern players closing him down.<\/p>\n But the Argentine, 25, kept his composure and feigned to pass out wide before chopping back into the middle.<\/p>\n He overran the touch slightly and Bayern goalscorer Mathys Tel tried to nick the ball away, but Martinez was too quick.<\/p>\n He sidestepped the forward before producing a wonderful 360 spin to glide past Eric Choupo-Moting, leaving three markers in his wake.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fans were in awe of the skill Martinez displayed with some suggesting he should be playing in midfield.<\/p>\n One said: "Start training him for midfield position and let Lindelof and Varane defend."<\/p>\n Another added: "Licha is class man. The guy can do whatever his manager demands we just need Varane back asap\u2026"<\/p>\n A third wrote: "He needs to start playing as a defensive midfielder."<\/p>\n <\/picture>‘HAVE WE MOVED?’ <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>RIK ROLL <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>SOL PURPOSE <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>ALL HANDS ON BECKS <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS<\/strong><\/p>\n And another commented: "The defeat overshadowed that moment of brilliance."<\/p>\n United's injury crisis means Erik ten Hag could not afford to play Martinez in midfield even if he wanted to.<\/p>\n Defenders Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane, Luke Shaw, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Tyrell Malacia are all unavailable due to injury.<\/p>\n
