The Argentine defender Lisandro Martinez is one of the most beloved players among the Manchester United fans. The player arrived from Ajax last year, after the manager Erik Ten Hag pushed the club to get his signing, since the Dutchman had identified the defender as a key player in his project in the club, and he hasn’t been wrong.

Despite having had a bad beginning, where he was very criticized by the public because of his height, Lisandro was able to conquer everybody at the club with commitment, quality and hardwork on the pitch. However, the Argentine defender suffered a serious injury at the Europa League quarter finals against Sevilla, and lost a great part of the season.

In this days, he has received a big support from the fans, who could already see him again in the Manchester United defense alongside Varane, and in the last few hours a United legend would have given all his support to the Argentine player, who would play again a key role in the Red Devils' defense next season.

In this sense, the Manchester United legend Jaap Stamp spoke about Lisandro Martinez with unexpected, nice supporting words. "Defensively he may not be the greatest, and we've talked about it a lot, but he's very smart in his one-on-one and his duels. He uses his body well . His positioning is good. He was very impressive", said Stamp, who is one of the most valued defenders in the club’s history, since he played more than 100 games with United, and won the historic Sir Alex Ferguson’s treble at the club.
