The Argentine produced a wild celebration after Fred notched United’s third deep into stoppage-time.
Fred celebrated his goal with a belly slide and was soon joined by Wout Weghorst and Tyrell Malacia.
Martinez then came steaming in and thought it would be a good idea to slide two-footed into his own teammates. View the moment below…
Fan footage showed Weghorst needing help to get up after the celebrations, before putting his hands on his knees.

One wrote: “Martinez has no chill.”
Another added: “Man just slide tackled into the celebration.”
A third commented: “He just two footed two of our players.”
