Speaking to MUTV, Lisandro Martinez said: “Well, I spoke with Donny van de Beek, year. I asked something to Donny. We spoke a little bit about Manchester when everything was done.
“I was with Erik ten Hag three years at Ajax and I know his style of playing. With him, I improved a lot to be honest. He’s here in Manchester now, so again the opportunity was there and for sure he’s very important in my career
“[He’s] very intense, for sure. Good football. Winning mentality, you know? That’s the most important thing. Every player needs to have things clear. I think he’s very clear also so I think with him every day you can learn.”
