For Martinez, the immediate focus remains entirely on his current role with the Portuguese national team. His contract with the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) is set to run until July 31, 2026, just days after the conclusion of the World Cup in North America. Portugal, the reigning Nations League champions, are considered among the favorites to lift the trophy, and reports suggest that neither the manager nor the federation will discuss his future until the tournament has finished in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Martinez has spent recent months building a strong rapport with his squad, particularly with legendary captain Cristiano Ronaldo. Speaking on the veteran striker’s impact, the coach previously said: “Roberto Martinez surrenders to Cristiano: He will be the best in history.” Whether Martinez decides to return to the day-to-day grind of the Premier League or continues in international management remains to be seen, but Manchester United are clearly keeping a very close watch on his situation as the summer approach draws nearer.
