Former Manchester City defender Bacary Sagna has heaped praised on United's Lisandro Martinez ahead of Sunday's derby.
Martinez has established himself as a key player in the Reds' backline since joining in the summer as one of Erik ten Hag's new signings. The 24-year-old has been ever present for United and his performances earned him the club's August player of the month.
On Sunday, the Argentine centre-back will be lining up for United in his first ever Manchester derby as the two rivals clash at the Etihad Stadium. Ahead of the encounter, Sagna described Martinez as a 'proper' defender insisting that his displays are helping to unleash the attacking players ahead of him.
