He has to start, but it might well be for Martinez having been hooked off at half time last game.
I think Martinez will play DM where Casemiro will play future games, and it'll be Maguire and varane together.

As much as I’d like this to happen, wasn’t it established that Martinez has only ever played one game at CDM under Ten Hagg?

No, he just preferred him at CB. And when the options are McTominay there... I could see it. Dutch league and Prem need different things. More ball winning needed here

Varane is our best defender and it's not even close, unless Martinez proves to us otherwise.
I hope ETH thinks the same
He obviously saw CB as a weakness last season . Varane spent more time injured so I’m hoping it’s Lindleof and Maguire he has a problem with

I pray for him to stay fit. He is among top 5 CBs in the world when fit. Varane and Martinez should be our first choice CBs.

The scary thing is that in comparison to his level this was only a decent performance. Just wait until he has 10-15 games under his belt.

He is so imperial, a top defender.

Best performance for Manutd - hopefully, he doesn't get injured again.

Brilliant performance, few of the tackles was just unbelievable.

This CB pair looked good, maybe new start to the defense

Martinez Will get the plaudits but I thought he was everywhere, especially in the first half. Aerially dominant

What a defender and wait until he has a run of games with Casemiro guarding him rather than McTominay.
