Jeremy Doku pulled one back but United won 2-1 to surprise their local rivals.

United have sorely missed Martinez at the back, who has only played 11 times in the Premier League this season due to injury.

He has only just returned from injury, having played a total of 66 minutes in the last two matches against Newcastle and Brighton.

But Erik ten Hag trusted the World Cup winner to start on Saturday and it proved to be an excellent decision, with City stifled by the defender fans affectionately call ‘the butcher’.

United went on to win the FA Cup, beating City 2-1, with Jeremy Doku’s late goal ultimately only a consolation.
