Lindelof praises 'fantastic' team-mate Martinez
Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof is enjoying getting to know fellow centre-back Lisandro Martinez, as the pair continue to develop their partnership at the heart of our defence.
With Harry Maguire injured and Raphael Varane working his way back to full fitness, Martinez and Lindelof started both of our recent victories against Omonia and Everton, and produced strong performances along the way.
They could continue their partnership in Thursday's reverse fixture with the Cypriot side and our no.2 has spoken positively about his relationship with the former Ajax man, as well as improving squad morale under Erik ten Hag.
