Lisandro Martinez echoes Erik ten Hag wish for long Manchester United career together

Lisandro Martinez admits he felt at home from his first day at Manchester United and has echoed Erik ten Hag's wish for the pair to have a long and successful career together.

Martinez followed the United boss from Ajax last summer, continuing the three seasons the pair spent together in Amsterdam. The Argentinian has instantly become one of the first names on the Dutchman's team sheet, forming a brilliant central triangle with experienced pair Raphael Varane and Casemiro.

The 25-year-old has instantly become a fan-favourite among the Old Trafford faithful for the very attitude that earned his 'Butcher' nickname. And speaking last week, Ten Hag professed his admiration for the centre-back's mentality, adding that he hopes the pair 'can co-operate for a long time together.'
