Looking like one of the best in Europe.
Hopefully Varane stays fit.

Best in the land
I love them. Legit love them
Top class pair. Our first actually reliable defensive pairing since Rio-Vidic.
Both aren't just world class, but they also complement each other pretty well.

Immense and I love how they celebrate together. We seriously hardly ever look like conceding chances never mind goals with these two
Dealt with one of the best strikers in the world, immense performances over the last two legs.
Best CB partnership in the world right now, no doubt. Really is reminding of Ferdinand-Vidic.
Hope they continue this over a few years.

Two defenders who can initiate attacks.
Everything’s changed.

Absolute world class. Wouldn't trade them for anyone.
Controversial opinion maybe, but I think that they are good.
Best since Ferdinand and Vidic. What a warrior that little argentinian is. Two brilliant defenders.
Nothing to say
Love how much they all care, even bringing out the aggression in Shaw who seemed to not care in recent seasons.
Although they'll likely never match Vidic and Rio in terms of longevity and trophies, but purely based in their best performances so far, I don't think it's crazy to mention them in the same breath.
I hope they get to win a few trophies together starting on Sunday, and hopefully with a few league titles and a CL title in the coming years.

Varane = Rio
Martinez = Vidic
Perfect partnership.

I’ll tell you what I think we genuinely have THE BEST pairing in football right now bar none and they compliment each other perfectly, with Shaw playing well as well we’re probably a right back away from a formidable defence.
From Lindelof and Maguire to these 2.
Love it. They both bring the best of each other.
Nothing to say
When was the last time we had such passion in the team ? This spirit, this fire. The team last season was so dead. If this game was played last year, we would have lost by the first half goal.
We're completely changed. The flame of passion in the team is burning. This is a team who wants to win, and believe they can win.
We have completely changed.
Won't swap any CBs in the world for these two. They're absolutely best of the best.
Lewandoski was completely nullified except for the last chance. Martinez marking him closely without giving him the chance to turn. Varane is such a cool player. I'm sure he has anticipated Lewandoski to put the ball through De Gea and he was already moving towards the goal line. Massively impressed
I wouldn't Swap them for anyone. World Class.
So good! Never in doubt
Yeah it's mad
Was it Lewa who Martinez barged off the ball towards the end?
Issue is Varane will need replacing in a couple of years.
Are you joking ? Because he's still 29 years old. I can see him easily playing up till 34 or 35.
I agree that's the initial thought, but Martinez is much more like Rio on the ball, just better. His distribution - especially on longer passes - is special for a CB.
Long way to go to really compare them, mind.
It's insane when you think about. We suffered some suffering, I'll tell you that
A players at his peak playing in your team is exactly what you want. Some people still mange to see that as a negative
Best pair since Vidic/ Ferdinand. Martinez is already well on the way to being a United legend.
Shame we didn’t get Varane years ago.

Absolutely. That Licha pass in 90 mins to Anthony was unreal straight to his foot, it was Scholes like. He's an absolute monster and future captain
Incredible defenders, both of them. Barca had about two chances the entire game, and no really good ones. Amazing how fast we've gone from having a laughable leaky pairing to possibly the best in the world.
He’s 29, not 39.
As long as he’s managed right, there’s no reason we can’t get 4-5 more years of solid performance out of him. Thiago Silva was thought fit for the glue factory when he left PSG and is still going strong.
Liverpool fans over hype Van Dyke, id say these 2 are best in world game right now but im not
in saying that, theres not many that do, at this level, happy get 4 years out of him be delighted get more
The guy is not even 30 and has retired from international football. He will be fine for the next 5 years probably.
