Lisandro Martinez, the talented footballer, has been playing for Manchester United for three seasons now. He recently shared that he received a congratulatory message from the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson, the former manager of Manchester United, after Argentina's World Cup win in 2022.
Martinez, who joined United from Ajax two years ago under the guidance of coach Erik ten Hag, has quickly become a fan favorite at Old Trafford. Despite being sidelined due to injury for most of last season, he played a crucial role in helping the club win both the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup.
Just five months after joining United, Martinez had the opportunity to lift the biggest prize in football as Argentina beat France in a thrilling final to secure their third World Cup title. He played in almost all of Argentina's matches on their road to victory and has now become a regular starter under coach Lionel Scaloni.
In addition to his World Cup triumph, Martinez has also won back-to-back Copa America titles with his country, bringing his total number of trophies to ten at the early stage of his career. He is determined to add more to his collection this season, despite a disappointing start for United who lost in the Community Shield and two of their first three Premier League matches.
In an interview with La Nacion in Argentina, Martinez spoke about how he felt a special energy and motivation when he first stepped foot in United's training centre in Carrington. He believed that the club was a place to win and that they could become one of the greatest teams in the world.
Sir Alex Ferguson, who is known as the God of Manchester, still maintains a strong connection with the club. Martinez has had the chance to meet him three or four times and even received a congratulatory message from him after Argentina's World Cup victory. He also mentioned that the new owners have included Ferguson in the club's activities.
Martinez has a great amount of respect for Ferguson and does not want to invade his privacy. However, he would love to have the opportunity to talk and listen to him. He sees him as a legend of world football and is grateful for the support and recognition he has received from him.
