Lisandro Martínez: Atlético's next 'Cuti' Romero?
His contract runs until 2027 and he is one of the most criticised players at Old Trafford
José David López describes Lisandro Martínez's situation at Manchester United
José David López sees Lisandro Martínez's exit from a Manchester United in crisis as clear-cut, after the defender clashed with coaches, the board and teammates. Rubén Uría sees it as a deal similar to the one for 'Cuti' Romero.
Rubén Uría puts forward a name he considers more realistic than Zubimendi or Merino: Lisandro Martínez, the Manchester United centre-back whose contract runs until 30 June 2027.
José David López describes a situation that could hardly be more different from Arsenal's. Manchester United are in ruins, posting their worst results in eight decades, fighting to avoid relegation and looking for scapegoats. Lisandro is among the most criticised: he has been sent off this season and, every time he has spoken out, he has gone after coaches, the board and teammates, which has gone down very badly. Legends such as Paul Scholes, Roy Keane and Rio Ferdinand have turned on him.
At 29 and nearing the end of his contract as a Red Devil, José David believes he will leave, and that Atlético, with their Argentine identity and if Simeone picks up the phone, could be a very good fit for him.
Rubén Uría sums it up simply: he could become 'Cuti' Romero 2.0.
