Italy legend Giorgio Chiellini has claimed that Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez is perfect and admitted that he was wrong to doubt his ability.
Martinez arrived at Old Trafford in the summer as the first of two signings Erik ten Hag made from his former club Ajax. After several pundits predicted that the central defender's height could hold him back in the Premier League 'The Butcher', as he is affectionately known, became a regular in United's defence.
His impressive performances alongside Raphael Varane have made it difficult for captain Harry Maguire to gain minutes and earned Martinez MEN Sport's Player of the Year award in 2022. When asked about the Reds' centre-back, Chiellini told ESPN Argentina that he has been impressed with several aspects of the Argentine's game.
