Lisandro Martinez has been brilliant for Man United.
Since his arrival this summer, the Argentinian defender has delivered some excellent performances for the Red Devils.
He was initially criticised for his height, i.e. 5ft 9in and many pundits believed his small stature would not benefit in the Premier League.
But Martinez has recorded five clean sheets in United’s last ten Premier League appearances and swiftly became a fan’s favourite.
Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk who is considered the best centre-back by many shows his support to 24-year-old Lisandro Martinez in his latest interview.
Van Dijk told The Overlap: ‘The height difference is something everyone wants [to make something of]. You shouldn’t even mention it.
‘Obviously it can help if you’re a bit taller, but also it can not help you in certain ways.
‘So I think he did fantastic against us. He is a good signing for United. Very passionate, good on the ball, so I can only speak positively about him.
‘I’ve got respect for what he’s achieved so far and hopefully he’ll be doing well for United – but not getting [too] successful!’
