Manchester United central defender Lisandro Martinez was overjoyed after beating Tottenham Hotspur 2-0.
The hosts put on a dominant display to dismantle Antonio Conte’s side.
Martínez was at the base of everything, in command of the defense.
He didn’t allow Harry Kane to get an iota of goal, with De Gea having a comfortable night.
After the game, he said:
“I can’t describe being here. I feel very emotional about it. For me it is a dream to be here in one of the best clubs in the world”.

Martínez and Raphael Varane have formed a brilliant couple.
His pace allows United to play higher up the line, helping to dominate possession.
With Casemiro at the helm, United finally have a solid defense that the manager can rely on.
As seen tonight, Fred and Bruno Fernandes joined the attacking players and left Casemiro deep to cover any turnovers in possession.
Martinez has been one of United’s standout players this season.
His splendid passing and reading of the game have made United’s preparation very smooth.
Ten Hag’s United are slowly but steadily starting to improve.
One can see defined patterns of play, with players now fully understanding their roles.
The former Ajax player was the ideal signing for the summer.
