'I really respected it' - what Manchester United's Lisandro Martinez did vs Real Madrid that impressed Jude Bellingham

Jude Bellingham was so angry with Lisandro Martinez’s tackle on him late in the first half of Real Madrid’s friendly win against Manchester United that he turned the air blue in the dressing room at half-time.

The midfielder, who scored Real’s first goal in their 2-0 win, reacted angrily at the time, jumping to his feet and shoving Martinez away, with the Argentine centre-back booked for the crude challenge.

Bellingham revealed he was still angry at half-time and was swearing at his Real teammates as he complained about the incident.

But the two patched it up during the game and Bellingham has let bygones be bygones now after Martinez wished him well for the rest of the season at the end of the game at the NRG Stadium in Houston.

The transfer window is in full swing and United have already got their hands on two players, with Mason Mount and Andre Onana through the door at Old Trafford

Erik ten Hag's attention now turns to signing a new goal scorer following their struggles in that department last season. Anthony Martial is the only genuine striker in United's squad and his fitness can not be relied upon, so United are looking at Rasmus Hojlund and Harry Kane as options.
