Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has heaped massive praise on Lisandro Martinez following the club’s thrilling comeback victory against Ipswich Town. He recently had his say via his social media page, and fans have been reacting.
Stressing that the Argentine international is currently unmatched when it comes to his composure on the ball, Ferdinand stated that he believes Lisandro is the world’s best centre-back on the ball right now.
Rio added that despite his mistake for Ipswich’s second goal, Martinez deserves praise for his positive performance.
His words, “Martinez, by the way, we conceded two goals today, but what I would like to talk about is his ability on the ball.
I would go as far as to say Martinez is the best centre-back on the ball in the game right now.
I’m trying to think of someone else better who can break the line with passing, who can beat the press when someone comes to him and just move it, take the ball in tight areas; Martinez takes some beating. He was phenomenal on the ball today in terms of his passing, like top tier.
We won the league that year! It can happen, but it ain’t going to happen this year: Arsenal are going to win the league. Man United aren’t here to win the league.
The people that are running the club and Michael Carrick, as much as they would like to, in their most serious thoughts they are not saying we are title challengers right now.
Sensible, realistic heads are thinking about a year of consolidation; a chance to finish in the Champions League [places] is a must, and if we get a trophy on top of that, what a season we’ve had.”
