Lisandro Martínez is a central defender whose ferocious intensity, aerial dominance, and ball-playing ability made him one of Ajax's most important figures before Manchester United paid heavily to bring him to the Premier League. Nicknamed 'The Butcher of Ajax' for his uncompromising defending, he combines aggression with genuine technical quality — comfortable receiving under pressure and driving out from the back. Injuries have disrupted his United career, but when fit he has been among the Premier League's best centre-backs. For Argentina, his partnership options alongside Otamendi or Romero give Scaloni a physically imposing, technically capable defensive foundation.
