When Manchester United was in the bidding war with Arsenal in the summer for one of Ajax's top prospects, many fans weren't expecting to get a top-quality defender. United's transformation under new manager Erik Ten Hag has been inspired by their backline.
Ten Hag was very determined to get his former player and Lisandro sealed a 53 million euro move to Old Trafford. Fans had a lot of doubts about his transfer because of his physical attribute as many feared that he will be bullied by the pacy and physical players in the League.
Despite his loyalty, this United star will lose what matters most to him
Unlike Ronaldo, United fans know this unexpected player is the next big deal
Lisandro has formed a terrific partnership with Raphael Varane at the heart of United's defense this season that kept a decent return of clean sheet, tearing through the attacking sequence of their opponents, while being shielded in front of goal by David De Gea.
Lisandro has become a huge fan favorite over his first four months at United and has won his Butcher nickname on his sleeve. His height is no issue for him in competing in duels and is not one to back down from a fight no matter how tight.
Aside from his impact at the heart of United's defense has won over the fans, the fact that he gets to play alongside the two great footballers of all time his club teammate Cristiano Ronaldo and his national teammate Lionel Messi drives home this claim. Lisandro recently earned a call-up to Argentina's world cup squad in Qatar and will be looking to continue his fine form.
