Lisandro Martinez was pleased with how Manchester United defended against Tottenham on Wednesday night.
What Lisandro Martinez has brought to Manchester United dressing room
10.10.2022 - 14:21 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Victor Lindelof has hailed Lisandro Martinez as a "warrior" and a vital member of the Manchester United dressing room just three months after his arrival.
The centre-back was a £56million summer signing from Ajax and after a shaky start to his Old Trafford career he has been excellent recently, with his aggression and intensity making him a fans' favourite.
Erik ten Hag was desperate to be reunited with Martinez at United and it's becoming clear why he saw the left-footed centre-back as a key signing, on and off the pitch.

Martinez celebrated Sunday night's hard-fought 2-1 win at Everton enthusiastically, hugging teammates when the final whistle went after a dogged defensive effort late on.
For the second game in a row he started alongside Lindelof, who was making his 200th United appearance, and the Swede hailed the impact that Martinez has made in his short United career.
"He’s a character and a warrior out there on the pitch. He’s been performing great and it’s very important to have players like that in the squad. He’s been performing great and he did another great game today," Lindelof said.
"It’s very important to have those players who are always there, who are ready to go into battle with anyone."
The final whistle celebrations at Goodison Park showed how big a win this was for United, flushing the 6-3 derby defeat at the Etihad out of the system and showing character to win after going behind just 72 hours after playing a Europa League game in Cyprus.
Lindelof believes there is value in celebrating together at the final whistle and hailed the team spirit in the squad, something Ten Hag has been working hard to instil since taking over.
