Dutch football expert Marcel van der Kraan has given his verdict on the match-up, as per Sky Sports News. He said: โYou have to be quicker, you have to read the passing lines and thatโs what Martinez is really good at.โ

United fans donโt need to worry because when the pair went head-to-head last season, Cityโs new boy didnโt get a sniff. Martinez had Haaland in his pocket as Ajax beat Borussia Dortmund 4-0 in the Champions League.
On the night, Martinez made four tackles and four interceptions, as well as preventing Haaland from scoring. He will be hoping to do the same on Sunday against City.
