Erik ten Hag has reminded Lisandro Martinez that his commitment to Manchester United resumes in just a matter of days.
Martinez has enjoyed a whirlwind few days back in Argentina after the South Americans lifted the World Cup last Sunday. He may have only played a bit-part in their run to the trophy, but has been front and centre of their wild celebrations.
Martinez is still in his homeland celebrating with his compatriots, with few signs of an imminent flight back to rainy Manchester. But Ten Hag, who brought the defender to Old Trafford in the summer, has warned him that he “has to accept” the hard work starts again after Christmas.
