Lisandro Martinez marks 100 games

Lisandro Martinez has been presented with a special shirt at Carrington, after reaching 100 appearances for the club.

Licha passed the milestone at Turf Moor on Wednesday night, as he completed the full 90 minutes of our 2-2 draw with Burnley.

That was his ninth outing across all competitions since he returned from knee surgery in late November.

Congratulations on your achievement, Licha!

Our no.6 is the 228th different player to rack up a century of appearances for the Reds, but only the third from Argentina.

His former team-mate Alejandro Garnacho played 144 times for United, before joining Chelsea in the summer.

Marcos Rojo, also a central defender from the South American nation, represented the Reds on 122 occasions.

Martinez thought he'd increased his tally of United goals in east Lancashire, only to see his first-half effort ruled out for a foul on Kyle Walker.

The former Ajax man has scored three times for the Reds, each of them coming away from home, against Arsenal, Fulham and Liverpool.
