Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez delivered a solid performance during Argentina’s thumping 4-0 win over Bolivia in a friendly yesterday.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old has been a key player for club and country, and he played 81 minutes for Argentina in their recent encounter against Bolivia on home turf.<\/p>\n

Martinez had a comfortable evening as Bolivia managed just one shot on target. He completed an impressive 72 passes with a passing accuracy of 90 percent.<\/p>\n

The centre-back also won 100 percent of his aerials (3\/3) and tackles (2\/2) with two recoveries. <\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Shortly after the game, popular Argentine outlet TyC Sports gave a 6\/10 rating<\/a> to Martinez. <\/p>\n

He was praised for his positioning and for providing good support to debutant left-back Roman Vega.<\/p>\n

They wrote: “Like his defensive partner, it was a match without too much work. Lisandro was well-positioned both in his own half and the opposition’s, attentive to supporting the debutant Vega, as well as initiating plays down his side of the field.”<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Argentina’s next friendly will be against Burkina Faso in Buenos Aires before hosting Benin, which will be Lionel Messi’s final international game of his illustrious career.<\/p>\n

The majority of the 2022 World Cup-winning squad are expected to feature. Hence, we can expect Martinez to be rested for the next match before facing Benin.<\/p>\n

From United’s point of view, they will hope their \u00a357 million signing<\/a> plays just an hour of Messi’s farewell game and returns to the club without any fitness issues to worry about.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils have had a tough start to the league season with five points from as many matches. The upcoming clash against Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford is a must-win.<\/p>\n

Spurs have shown a clear lack of chemistry in the starting XI after several signings this summer.<\/p>\n

United should be favourites to return to winning ways in the league despite Spurs holding the upper hand on the head-to-head recently with five wins, three draws and just one defeat.<\/p>\n

Martinez looks poised to line up in United’s defence alongside Harry Maguire, Diogo Dalot and Luke Shaw.<\/p>\n

He is an undisputed starter in the left centre-back role when fully fit, and the Argentine has the chance to help United end their three-match winless league streak on October 10.<\/p>\n
