Manchester United central defender Lisandro Martinez has praised Tottenham Hotspur central defender Cristian Romero on Instagram.
Lisandro Martinez, who is a key player for Manchester United, was impressed by Cristian Romero’s performance and goal for Tottenham Hotspur against Brentford away from home in the Premier League this past weekend.
Spurs played out a 2-2 draw with Brentford in the London derby on Sunday.
Argentina international centre-back Romero scored for Spurs in the 11th minute.

The £165,000-a-week (Spotrac) defender found the back of the net with a guided header from Spurs attacking midfielder James Maddison’s free-kick.
Romero, though, came off straightaway as a precaution after appearing to complain of a knock to the head in the celebration, as reported by BBC Sport.
Martinez plays with Romero for the Argentina national football team, and he is very pleased for his compatriot.
The defender wrote: “What a player”.
While Spurs will be aiming to finish in the top four of the Premier League, United will be determined to win the title this season.
Erik ten Hag’s side will also play in the UEFA Champions League this season.
We do not expect United to go all the way in Europe’s premier club competition, but the former UEFA Champions League winners will be determined to make an impact and advance to the latter stages.
It will be an interesting season for both Tottenham and United, and for Martinez and Romero.
