I absolutely hated how reckless Ole was with the fitness of his players and I suppose besides running Rashford into the ground the other glaring situation was when Maguire sustained the hip injury and was kept on when he was clearly in discomfort and that from a player who tends to play all the time (likely playing through minor injuries often).
With Martinez he's clearly a player who will play if there's a chance he can and he was rushed back at the beginning of the season and we lost him for half the season because of it. On whom that incompetency is to blame I don't know. But today when Martinez went down he was so clearly injured, so genuinely gutted, and yet Erik - through no prevention of his medical team - just throws him back on. What the absolute feck was that?
And he happens to be our most important player. A lesser point is that we were already 2-0 up at that point, but this really is about protecting a player's fitness.
I just can't understand this.
