£48.3m Manchester United player ‘a staunch supporter’ of Erik ten Hag
Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez is backing head coach Erik ten Hag.
That is according to , which has noted how Martinez feels about his United boss Ten Hag.
So, what has been reported about Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez and Erik ten Hag? Let’s take a look.
Lisandro Martinez backing Erik ten Hag at Manchester United
Well, according to , Manchester United central defender Lisandro Martinez is “a staunch supporter” of manager Erik ten Hag.
There have been criticisms of Ten Hag for United’s recent struggles in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.
However, Martinez is backing the Dutch manager, according to the report. The Argentina international central defender is recovering from a second operation to mend a foot problem and will not be back in action until after Christmas.
ESPN has claimed that the 25-year-old, who won the 2022 Qatar World Cup with Argentina, has been “pictured watching training at Carrington”.
Martinez joined United from Ajax in the summer of 2022 for £48.3 million (). He was linked with a move to Arsenal at the time. The Red Devils are paying the defender a weekly salary of £120,000 ().
Manchester United should have faith in Erik ten Hag
In my view, Manchester United should keep faith in Erik ten Hag. I do not think that there is any need for the Red Devils to move on from the Dutchman yet.
Yes, United are not having the best of times at the moment. They are not going to challenge for the Premier League top four. Getting a place in the UEFA Champions League is going to be tough due to competition from the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United and Aston Villa.
It is very likely that United will get knocked out of the UEFA Champions League at the group stage. It will be hugely disappointing.
However, I believe that United cannot change managers every 18 months. Ten Hag has to be backed.
