Lisandro Martinez came up with the perfect response after Erik ten Hag dropped him at Ajax, showing the kind of spirit which convinced the Manchester United manager to sign him this summer.
Martinez, 24, was officially unveiled as the latest player to join Ten Hag's Old Trafford revolution on Wednesday. The Argentina defender arrives with a £55million price tag and a fine reputation thanks to his three successful years working under Ten Hag at Ajax.
The duo won back-to-back Eredivisie titles and the Dutch Cup during their time together in Amsterdam, with Martinez crowned the club's Player of the Year for the season just gone. The player's ability to perform to a high level at centre-back, left-back and in midfield make him an attractive enough prospect, but Ten Hag was also impressed by his mentality when he coached him in the Netherlands.
