Manchester United supporters are over the moon after Lisandro Martinez was recalled by Argentina for the World Cup showdown against the Netherlands at the Lusail Stadium.
With progression to the semi-finals on the line, Martinez starts in a three-man defence as the South Americans set their sights on stopping Memphis Depay and Cody Gakpo in attacking quarters. Gakpo has, of course, been heavily linked with United and Erik ten Hag wanted to sign the in-form PSV player in the summer.
Gakpo, 23, scored three goals in as many Group A matches for the Netherlands to underline his credentials to play at the highest level following his Eredivisie success this season. Martinez knows that path well, too, after following Ten Hag from Amsterdam to Old Trafford this summer.
