Lisandro Martinez has been a member of Manchester United for three seasons now. Recently, he shared that the legendary former manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, had reached out to congratulate him on Argentina's World Cup win in 2022. Despite being injured for most of last season, the 26-year-old has become a fan favorite at Old Trafford. He played a crucial role in helping the club win the FA Cup and Carabao Cup.
Within just five months of joining United, Martinez had the opportunity to lift the biggest trophy in football as Argentina defeated France in a thrilling final to secure their third World Cup title. He was a key player for his country throughout the tournament and has since become a regular starter under Lionel Scaloni. In addition to the World Cup, Martinez has also won back-to-back Copa America titles with Argentina, bringing his total trophy count to ten at the beginning of his career.
However, the start of this season has been a disappointment for Manchester United, who lost in the Community Shield and two of their first three Premier League matches. Martinez understands that it is up to him and the rest of the squad to turn things around and bring the club back to its former glory. He spoke to La Nacion in Argentina, stating that he felt something special when he first arrived at United's training center in Carrington. He was motivated by the strong energy of glory and saw it as a place to win.
Martinez also revealed that Ferguson, who is considered the God of Manchester, still has a strong connection to the club. He has met the iconic Scot three or four times and has even had the opportunity to speak with him after Argentina's World Cup triumph. Martinez respects Ferguson's privacy but would love to have the chance to talk and listen to him.
The defender is determined to help United become one of the greatest teams in the world, just like they have been in the past. He believes that with continued growth and hard work, they can achieve this goal. Martinez is grateful for the opportunity to play for such a prestigious club and is honored to have the support of a legend like Sir Alex Ferguson.
