"You never know..." - Lisandro Martinez sends Man Utd warning as "unlucky" claim made

Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez has warned fans that they are "not through yet", with the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final still to come.

Martinez: "We must stay focused"

“You never know,” said Martinez. “You have to keep focused.

“We have to work on the next game [against Reading on Saturday] and then we have to think about the other leg. It is not done yet and we have to keep going.

“I think everyone worked really hard and you can see now the last two games were unlucky. We did an amazing job, but we have to keep going.

You can see when we don’t do the right things, we can concede goals. And then we control the game. Like I said, we have many things to improve and we have to keep going.”

It was a much needed win after picking up just one point from their last two games. A disappointing 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace, followed by a last-gasp 3-2 defeat to Premier League leaders Arsenal have dampened any previous title hopes.

But in the wake of their Carabao Cup win, United look to have turned a corner.

Martinez continued: “We really needed this result. I think we showed many good things but we also have a lot to improve. But it is a good result, I think we controlled the game today. But we have to keep going and also keep calm.

“[We conceded] against Crystal Palace in the last minute, against Arsenal as well. But we never give up. Today we did a really good job, we won the game and that is most important.”
