Martinez: I always believe in myself

Lisandro Martinez says he always carries the utmost self-belief and determination on the pitch for Manchester United – not only in the pursuit of victory, but to set an example for his team-mates.

The 26-year-old was among the United backline that kept a clean sheet in our opening Premier League fixture of the season on Friday night, with the Reds securing a late win thanks to debutant Joshua Zirkzee’s clever finish.

Martinez caught the eye with his display on the pitch, appearing at both centre-back and left-back during the 90 minutes, but his words following the conclusion of our domestic season-opener also proved to be the subject of positive discussion among United fans.
