Manchester United centre-back Lisandro Martinez has revealed that ex-Old Trafford defender Gabriel Heinze is his football idol, expressing that he loves the way the former defender played the game.
Martinez, who arrived at Old Trafford from Ajax in the summer transfer window, endured a difficult start to his United career and was taken off at half-time in the 4-0 defeat to Brentford in August. However, the Argentine has been impressive in the last two months and has asserted himself as a first-choice defender.
The 24-year-old has made 14 appearances for Erik ten Hag's side in all competitions and has quickly become a fan-favourite among the United faithful - with supporters lauding his aggression and passion.
