He's been amazing but I'm blown away by Otamendi. He's playing like the footballing Kratos

It's such a joy to watch him play.
Currently in the top 5 defenders in the world on current form for me, I haven’t seen many better or more consistent than him for a while.
Played a good game, one of few. Emiliano was solid in goal, Lisandro and Otamendi gave Argentina good control of the game, Messi and Di Maria gave them something resembling a penetrative touch, and Enzo Fernandez played well upon coming on. That was it.
Worth every penny.
He's not just a great CB, he's an actual world class footballer in general. Would walk in to my world 5 a side team if I had to put a defender in.
Real Madrid have been made aware of how good he is by Cristiano reports one of the rags
Please never go to Real Madrid.
Idk if you guys were just talking if it ever happens, but I reserarched and Mundo Deportivo among other sportnews sites are saying Real Madrid are interested in Licha.
I don't think he will go there honestly, it would surprise me.

Madrid won't pay what we ask for.
They rarely buy from bigger clubs anyway, they'll just find the next gem.
If we continue to not compete for top honours then he'll probably go elsewhere. Who knows though.
Clearly one of best defenders in Europe now. He’s sensational.
You know who Lisandro reminds me of?
Prime Roy Keane.
It is not his physical side but that inner fire that makes him so menacing.
Love this guy!!

Yeah I've often thought this season that it's like watching Roy Keane at centre back.
He's coolness personified, just never fazed by anything.
I've actually thought that but more so because of his passing. It's nice to have someone who is so direct in passing the ball 10-15 yeards between the lines like Keane used to do. They both pass the ball into feet with real purpose and intensity.
Be about £100m for him I imagine
And the rest.
Lisandro Martinez against Mexico:
100% tackles won
89% pass accuracy
41 touches
31 passes completed
1 ground duel won
1 aerial duel won
1 clearance
1 interception
He seriously makes me so happy. I can't believe he was our second choice for CB signing (allegedly). Hope he never changes and stays a long time. A United legend in making.

With the way him and Antony forced their moves from Ajax, it wouldn’t surprise me if it happens to us down the line. Just hope we bag a league title or 2 before they decide to move on.
Been a while since we've got a player who has quickly appreciated in value after joining us. Credit to Ten Hag.
Not overly worried, he's on a contract until he's 30 having signed 4 months ago for €60m, if he pushes to leave he and his agent will have to understand it wouldn't be for anything less than £100m.
Would be pretty weird if he was already looking at a move. You never know of course but I'd say it's minimum 2 years before any itchy feet come into it.
Typical United fan nerves to think that he would be considering leaving because of one report. Him leaving would be the shocking outcome - he has just joined, seems to get on well with his teammates and is with a coach that knows and trusts him massively.
You can't equate him and Antony wanting to come to United from Ajax to leaving us for Real. Players go to Ajax knowing they are in the shop window for a chance to go to one of the bigger leagues and clubs like us.

United fans are so insecure these days its mind blowing.
He’s going nowhere, calm down.
Oh noes he's off to Madrid! Based on.... some absolutely nothing article 
Ahhh. Because Madrid would splurge £100m on Martinez when they already have Eder Militao and David Alaba. Makes sense.
He just joined this summer and people are worried he will leave us! What kind of small club mentality is this? We are Manchester United ffs not some feeder club.
That took longer than I thought...
Well lads, start winning stuff or lose your best players. Big fish always feed on smaller fish.
That 'he's too short' chat disappeared quicker than any criticism I've seen levelled at a player in a long, long time.
To be fair Alaba is 30, and will start to decline soon, also Licha is better.
Most likely back on the bench tomorrow. Otamendi will start and then Scaloni has yet to decide whether to start Romero or Pezzella next to him. Weird that he is suddenly only the fourth option for tomorrow. Maybe Scaloni is afraid of Polands height?
Hopefully Argentina conceding 10 goals if Licha doesn't start.
Just pull the cable out of the fax machine on deadline day and we'll be sound.
Scaloni's bias against the height of Martinez is as stubborn and stupid as Japan coach's bias against players playing in England/Scotland.
Argentina fecking conceded 2 goals against Saudi without him and kept a clean sheet against a stronger team of Mexico with him.
Hope Argentina gets knocked out.

Good.
I want him fresh for ManUTD.
