Lisandro Martinez has hailed Raphael Varane as a “legend” of the game as his partnership with the World Cup winner continues to blossom.
The duo started together in the 2-0 win against Sheriff Tiraspol in Moldova on Thursday night, the fifth time in six games they’ve been paired together at the back, helping United to three clean sheets.
Martinez has been immediately trusted by Erik ten Hag after his £56million move from Ajax this summer and having initially started the season alongside Harry Maguire, he is now thriving in a partnership with Varane.
