'I honestly do think that Lisandro Martinez has had a transformative effect on the entire United defence.'
Date published: Tuesday 21st February 2023 10:05 -Former Man Utd defender Wes Brown has heaped praise on Lisandro Martinez for having a “transformative effect” on the entire defence this season.
“It took a little bit of time for those players to find their rhythm, the best combinations, but over the last few months United have looked more secure. Brown added: “I think that Shaw’s playing so well because he knows he has the full confidence of the manager in either position. “There is confidence in the team at the back which gives United’s attacking players a greater sense of freedom. He has given the defence more confidence, they are playing higher now and engaging the opposition aggressively. He has been instrumental in setting the tempo at the back for United. ”
“I thought that with Leicester playing such a high line, that was dangerous given the form that Marcus Rashford is in at the moment and also with the pace that Garnacho has. After United scored the first goal, which they had to work hard for, you could see the focus of the team changed. The defence was solid and the result never looked in doubt.
