New Manchester United defender, Lisandro Martinez is obviously a quality addition to Erik ten Hag’s back line as he is known for his ability to build play from the back and defend aggressively. Martinez is otherwise known as ‘The Butcher Of Amsterdam’ and he has revealed the reason behind that nickname.
He says, “Yes, I am called The Butcher of Amsterdam. We Argentines do everything with passion and when I go out on the pitch, I fight for every ball. If I have to step over dead bodies, I will do it.”
There are numerous questions about the defender’s height, as he seems shorter than the average Premier League defender. Martinez is around 5 feet 8 inches tall and may look really short beside strikers like Erling Haaland and Harry Kane, but he has other excellent features that make up for his lack of height.
His versatility is one big advantage he has over every other defender at Manchester United. He can play at left-back and as a defensive midfielder. He has a wide passing range and a very good composure on the ball, a quality that is lacking in the Manchester United defence.
