Lisandro Martinez confirms plan if Argentina win World Cup final
Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez has said Argentina's players will get tattoos if they win the World Cup.
Argentina defeated Croatia 3-0 in the semi-final of the World Cup in Qatar earlier this week and they're now set to take on France in the final of the tournament on Sunday afternoon, which means Martinez will go head-to-head with his club teammate Raphael Varane.
Varane and Martinez have become Erik ten Hag's first-choice centre-back pairing at Old Trafford this season, but the latter has not regularly started at the World Cup, as he's made just two starts against Mexico and the Netherlands.

Raphael Varane receives huge injury boost ahead of World Cup final
Manchester United star Raphael Varane could be in line to start the World Cup final vs Argentina after he made his return to France training on Saturday.
Didier Deschamps was left sweating on the fitness of Varane after he missed training on Friday after contracting 'flu-like' symptoms. The 24-hour rest appears to have worked wonders for the 29-year-old as he featured in training on the eve of the final, French media outlet L'Equipe reports.
Varane missed the last three games of the Premier League season before the World Cup with a leg injury, but Deschamps kept faith with the United man and selected him for his squad. That faith has since been repaid by the centre-back.
