Erik ten Hag was right about Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez

Draped in the blue and white of the Argentine flag, Lisandro Martinez, not for the first time in his career, celebrated winning a trophy with Erik ten Hag right by his side.

Less than 12 months after swapping Amsterdam for Manchester, the Manchester United duo could not help but express what winning their first trophy in English football meant to them, joining fellow former Ajax employee Antony on the Wembley turf for a spot of dancing at the end of Sunday's Carabao Cup final triumph over Newcastle United.

Both Ten Hag and Martinez, though they operate from different sides of the white line, have made extraordinary impacts since arriving at Old Trafford, possibly beyond what even they thought would be possible.

While there is no denying that United's supporters have fallen in love with Ten Hag, highlighted by the volume of the roar he earned when he held the Carabao Cup aloft on the Wembley balcony, Martinez has become just as much of a hero.
