Everton boss Martinez prepared to lose at Man Utd: If performance spot on

Everton boss Roberto Martinez says tonight's clash at Manchester United is NOT about the final result.

In keeping with his football philosophy, he would rather Everton adhere to their new-found passing game with United and lose, than sneak a last-minute victory having been outplayed.

"What would I take? Playing well and losing, 100 per cent, because this game is about us being able to perform at Old Trafford and being able to show ourselves that we can compete with teams away from home eye-to-eye," said Martinez. "It's about the long term."
