Lisandro Martinez was a standout performer in Man Utd’s win over Southampton.

Man Utd won 3-0 as Matthijs de Ligt put in a quality performance. Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho scored, while Manuel Ugarte made a decent debut.

However, it would be a mistake to leave out Lisandro Martinez. Last season was a nightmare of injuries for the player. He is now in much better shape.

Along with De Ligt, Martinez showed signs of forming a partnership that could form the foundation of a Man Utd defence.

He was almost everywhere in defence, covering well for his teammates and playing out from deep.

Martinez finished the game with a 97% passing accuracy (58/60), completing both dribbles, making two tackles and winning all his challenges (3/3)

Added to that seven recoveries and four interceptions, it was a truly all-round performance from the player affectionately known as ‘The Butcher’ by United fans.
