Lisandro Martinez believes he forms a complimentary central defensive partnership with Victor Lindelof at Manchester United in the absence of Raphael Varane.
Martinez was partnered by Sweden international Lindelof in Wednesday’s three-goal EFL Cup first leg semi-final win at Nottingham Forest. The duo shut the hosts out all evening while both demonstrated their ability once again to progress the ball out from defence.
Lindelof has started just four Premier League matches this campaign, but he has been included from the start in eight cup games across the EFL Cup and Europa League and was chosen to deputise for the rested Varane alongside the Argentine. Club captain Harry Maguire was suspended for the game.
