Should have retired those numbers. What shoes to fill.
Lisandro Martinez | Man Utd player - Contract till 2027, with the option to extend for a further year
- Thread starter roonster09
- Start date
Here in Argentina the left center back generally uses the number 6, the number 2 being reserved to the right center back.
It is a nice gesture from the club.

let him and Fred have the midfield, this guy is gonna help close things down in midfield and he’ll be able to spray over the top balls to Rashford, Martial, Sancho.Really could be something else. The way he pushea Forward might be too much exposure since we don’t have a disciplined CDM to cover him so it may work out that way.Waiting for the theories that he's been given that number because he'll play in midfield to pop up
Unless one of our fullbacks slot in but Shaw has been so terrible on man marking crosses (often double marking a central attacker with the wide player 3-5 yards behind him. Same for AWB. Maybe ten Hag could teach them to keep their head on a swivel and remember they play fullback!
The Glazers, Murtough etc will have insisted on clauses in the contract that they have to do dabbing celebrations/generally act like dickheads and plaster it all over social media on a daily basis
How is he rated back home? Is the consensus he should be starting for the national team?
He'll play some games there, you'll see.Waiting for the theories that he's been given that number because he'll play in midfield to pop up
My only worry with this transfer is you just know if he's any good he'll be off to Madrid/Barca in 3 years
I hope he makes the shortlist for the ballon d'or.
Not if he's on deferred wages.
He needs to be good first and that alone will be a win for us for a change.
Very good chance of that
You do realise Ottamendi keeps him out of the national team I wouldnt expect too much here but he will give 100%
I wouldn't read too much into Otamendi being ahead of him in the NT. NT coaches are often quite conservative and players with a big reputation aren't replaced easily. Also for hierarchy purposes. Martinez is better than Otamendi.
I see we've released a life sized doll of Martinez.
You mean Ottamendi who was nearly 100 international caps and has won the following-
- Argentine Primera División
- Primeira Liga: 2010–11, 2011–12, 2012–13
- Taça de Portugal: 2010–11
- Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira: 2011, 2012, 2013
- UEFA Europa League: 2010–11
Manchester City - Premier League: 2017–18, 2018–19
- FA Cup: 2018–19
- Football League/EFL Cup: 2015–16,2017–18, 2018–19, 2019–20
- FA Community Shield: 2018, 2019
Individual
- South American Team of the Year: 2009
- La Liga Team of the Season: 2014–15
- Copa América Team of the Tournament: 2015, 2016
- PFA Team of the Year: 2017–18
I’d say that’s probably reasonable to be second choice at international level in these instances considering conservative international coaches are always one tournament from getting the sack.
Probably been asked already 
, but did he go up for corners/freekicks at Ajax or does he stay back?

That's a great questionProbably been asked already
Agreed the self-adulation and nostalgia needs to be taken down a notch. Very pleased with his English though and he comes across well.
I just did a bit of research myself by watching a YouTube highlights video of his. From that it seems he did go up for corners but positions himself around the penalty spot distance out.That's a great question

Looked very composed and comfortable today. Wonder if he's got a chance of being in the XI against Brighton
