Wigan Athletic manager Roberto Martinez believes that Callum McManaman has been unfairly criticised following his tackle on Newcastle's Massadio Haidara.

Wigan Athletic manager Roberto Martinez believes that young winger Callum McManaman has been the victim of unfair criticism.

The 21-year-old made headlines when a tackle on Newcastle United defender Massadio Haidara left the full-back needing hospital treatment following Wigan's 2-1 victory almost a fortnight ago.

"I think we've been going on and on too much about it," Martinez said in a press conference. "I think it was a football incident. I think we've been talking too much about it and it's a bit unfair on a young man to have to suffer that."

The Football Association decided against taking retrospective action against McManaman for the incident.
