Lisandro Martinez vs Harry Maguire: Who is Better Center-back for ten Hag United
Let’s Compare Lisandro Martinez vs Harry Maguire: Who is Better Center-back for ten Hag United?
Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag reportedly said he is only keeping Maguire as captain for now just to boost his confidence up and not be too disruptive or something. Some Man U fans think Lisandro Martinez is a better center-back than 80m flop Maguire. Slab-head really should be fifth choice, I’d rather Bailly and Lindelof as first reserves to Martinez and Varane…Martinez will be taking Harry’s place in the first 11.
Lisandro Martinez was Born on January 18, 1998 (age 24 years), Gualeguay, Argentina
Lisandro Martinez Height is 1.75 m (175 cm)
Position: Center-back Defender
Squad Number: 21
Weight: 77 kg
Lisandro Martinez Current team: Manchester United
Don’t worry about his height. Timing is everything and he wins a lot of duels with the head because of that. He will bring fightmode to Man Utd. And yes, in the Netherlands that got him a few yellow cards but in England the refs are not so strict when it comes to duels. In the dutch league, you can just look angry at an opponent and the ref is already giving a free kick.
Lisandro Martinez vs Harry Maguire: Who is Better Center-back for ten Hag United
Lisandro Martinez is a great signing for ten hag’s Manchester United; he can play in multiple positions. hopefully, that would stop Manchester United from playing Maguire every week.
Amazing news for Manchester United… Having a versatile left footed ball playing defender is good news.
Manchester United have agreed a deal worth up to £57m for Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez, who signed a five-year contract at Old Trafford.
United will pay a guaranteed €57m (£48.5m) for the Argentina international defender, with an additional €10m (£8.5m) in add-ons agreed between the two clubs. The move will see Martinez link up again with former Ajax manager Erik Ten Hag, who signed him for the club in 2019, at Old Trafford.
The deal is still subject to both medical and visa requirements, with completion expected in the coming days, before he puts pen to paper on a five-year contract in Manchester, with the option of a further 12 months, which would take him beyond his 30th birthday.
On Friday evening, Martinez posted a picture on his Instagram account of him and his agent on a plane with the caption “heading to Manchester”.
Martinez vs Harry Maguire statistics
Stats of Lisandro Martinez vs Harry Maguire of Man Utd
Looking at United’s current crop of center-backs Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Raphael Varane and Eric Bailly – Martinez is going to be the first name on the team-sheet.
According to The Sun, last season, Martinez completed an impressive 87.7 passes per 90 minutes – miles ahead of United’s current top-four options.
Harry Maguire is second-best in passes per match at 61.3, with Bailly the lowest on 51.4.
Martinez also leads the way in tackles per match at 1.9, ahead of Varane (1.4), Maguire (1), Bailly (0.8) and Lindelof (0.7).
Harry maguire vs Lisandro Martinez: who is a better defender?
Lisandro Martinez is a better defensive player than Harry Maguire. Watching a lot of ajax games. He does no mistakes. Extremly quick feet. He is not very tall but has amazing defending skills.
Varane will partner Matinez as Man Utd’s Center Backs for 2022/23 season. Harry Maguire to captain water distribution on the bench.
Maguire to be sold next season . He won’t be starting over Victor , Bailey , Varane and Martinez. Ten Hag wants fast defenders that can play high line.
Martinez will compliment Varane in the centerback, Maguire is too slow, ETH likes to play fast and high which doesn’t suit Maguire’s sluggish style.
The main thing Martinez will bring besides his composure is his ball playing ability, Manchester United have been lacking a CB who can pass the ball around like a seasoned midfielder.
While this is great news, I am very concerned about Ten Hag’s continued endorsement of Maguire as captain. He does not deserve it and I fear this will cause ill feelings in the squad.

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.
- Ten Hag Says Man United Are on Track
- Liverpool blame themselves for FA Cup loss to Man United
- Man United searching for Erik ten Hag replacement
Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
