United dominated much of the game, but did concede chances late on to Palace.
This week, former Liverpool and Aston Villa left back Stephen Warnock laid into Martinez’s challenge on Daichi Kamada.
“It's a coward's tackle,” he said on Sky Sports.
“That's all it is. It's a cowardly tackle to go in and try to protect yourself. I just think I don't like it.
“The intent is there. I don't understand why you would make that challenge. He's very, very lucky.”
