Lisandro Martinez has picked up Manchester United's Player of the Month award at the first attempt following his standout performances against Liverpool and Southampton in August.

One of our summer signings, Martinez bounced back after a tough start to his United career to pick up back-to-back Man-of-the-Match awards in the aforementioned games.

The Argentinian international had competition for the first award of the new campaign from fellow defenders Raphael Varane and Tyrell Malacia, but the rugged centre-back came out on top with 84 per cent when a record number of Player of the Month votes were cast in our official poll.

The grit and determination shown by the Argentinian in the Liverpool game at Old Trafford saw him quickly emerge as a fan favourite, and he had the stats to back up his performance. An impressive clearance off the line helped United secure all three points against our Merseyside rivals.

It was a similar story when he played a crucial role in the Reds bringing all three points home from our away trip to the south coast where we faced the Saints.

Martinez is building blossoming defensive partnerships with fellow nominees Varane, in the centre, and Malacia on the left-hand side of defence, and it helped us secure a first away clean sheet in the Premier League since last December.

Martinez becomes the first defender to win United's monthly award since Luke Shaw received it twice in a row, in February and March 2021.

This guy is the perfect example why Guardiola likes defenders with small body frame. He's so quick to recover and fast and a good ball player,

Not like our koulibaly that's big and slow; that'd rather pull a player down instead of chasing them down.

As for Mendy, he's like a cripple when a ball is on his feet. He's going to throw more 3 points away if they don't do something about him..

You don call the asslicking MOD wey dey suck your hairy balls abi.

12 people go first you create post, e go lock but the moment you call you puppy, straight to FP.

Make una continue……..we dey see clearly!

Dis short defender.

Few games and Man utd fans are overhyping him, calling him Butcher.

When he meet bullish strikers like Michael Antonio, Calvert-lewin, Chris Wood, etc. him go hear word.

He's been nicknamed 'The Butcher' long before he joined Man UTD.

Good signing.
