Fans demand Ruben Amorim takes immediate action after spotting what Man Utd player did seconds before Bodo/Glimt goal

Manchester United fans have been left furious with one player after what happened seconds before Bodo/Glimt’s shock second goal at Old Trafford.

Manchester United took an early lead in their Europa League clash, with Rasmus Højlund capitalizing on a goalkeeping mistake and Alejandro Garnacho tapping in the rebound. However, Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt quickly turned the game on its head with two goals from Phillip Zinckernagel.

Zinckernagel’s first was a stunning 20-yard curling strike into the top corner, equalizing for the visitors. His second, however, exposed United’s defensive vulnerabilities. Receiving a long ball, Zinckernagel outpaced Tyrell Malacia, who was making his first start in 18 months following a knee injury, before calmly finishing past Andre Onana to give Bodo/Glimt a shock 2-1 lead.

The focus of fans’ frustration shifted from Malacia to Lisandro Martinez after replays revealed a crucial moment in the build-up to the second goal. Martinez, playing at center-back, had pushed high into midfield to press an opponent, leaving his defensive position exposed. Bodo/Glimt bypassed the press with a ball into midfield, and a subsequent long pass over the top left Martinez stranded, forcing Malacia into a one-on-one sprint with Zinckernagel.

Although United managed to equalize through Højlund before halftime, criticism of Martinez’s positioning persisted. Fans debated whether his advanced pressing was part of the team’s tactical plan or an individual misjudgment. Some expressed concern over his recurring habit of being caught out of position, questioning manager Amorim’s approach and Martinez’s role in the system.

Comments from fans on social media highlighted the frustration:

– “Where is Martinez in these two goals??”

– “Everybody is blaming Malacia, but where is Lisandro Martinez…”

– “How many times have we seen Martinez out of position this season? Inexcusable.”

– “Lisandro Martinez in wide channels. It’s over for him under this manager.”

The second goal conceded continues to spark discussion about United’s defensive structure and Martinez’s responsibilities under Amorim’s tactics.
