Martinelli got a rate start for Arsenal against Manchester United.

And the 20-year-old took his chance well.

Arsenal fans were wowed by Martinelli’s display at Old Trafford as well.

However, in our opinion, it was Ronaldo who made the difference.

The former Real Madrid and Juventus star scored two goals to help United to a win.

As for Martinelli, in our view, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta needs to keep faith in him and give him a run of games.
