Lisandro Martinez made his first appearance for Argentina since March 2023, as the Albiceleste beat Ecuador 1-0 on Sunday in their first warm-up game ahead of the Copa America.
Former United winger Angel Di Maria scored the only goal after 40 minutes at Soldier Field in Chicago.
While Alejandro Garnacho was an unused substitute for the World Cup winners, Licha partnered Tottenham’s Cristian Romero in defence and completed the full game.
It was a useful tune-up for our no.6, who only returned to United’s starting XI for the final two games of the season, against Brighton and Manchester City, after an injury-hit campaign.
