The chants of 'Argentina' went up from the supporters within Old United as LisandroMartinez cleared the ball again. There is a new signing. Manchester United are strong for his presence.
It was very emotional for me to see the love from the fans. It's from me to them. I'm really happy because I came from nowhere. The club is one of the best in the world.
This is the first time he has spoken in English. The translator doesn't need to be in the room. It might be a sign of his growing confidence here. He introduced himself as Licha and began to reflect on the win against Spurs.
Is it the best performance yet? He thinks so.
We did a good job." We dominated the entire game. They only had one chance in the first half, and we were solid in defence. We tried our best to play at this level. This is how we want to play. It's great to do it.

The start of the team is similar to that of the one of the Spaniard. It wasn't easy at the beginning. He and the rest of the United team had to stop the noise when they were down four goals. He was questioned if he was good enough to play in the premier league.
We have to be patient sometimes. We knew that we didn't play how we wanted in the beginning. It is part of the game. Experience is what it is. There is a new team. We have to continue.
It's hard. You don't have time to play football. You are either a good player or a bad team if you lose. We are aware of what we are. We have to be calm and patient.
The fears were overstated He may say that he came from nothing, but he came with a lot of experience - a £57m signing from Amsterdam, a 24 year old Argentina international. He is showing how vital he is to this team.
He disrupted his rhythm by getting close to the strikers when he needed to, and he succeeded in limiting Harry Kane's opportunities by nicking the ball off the England captain. He insists that it's not only him. The players did a great job.
The kind of aggressive, front-foot defending that the man wants to see is typified by the man. He doesn't like the butcher nickname he got in Amsterdam. He is called the pitbull in Argentina. That one fits either way.
In order to impose himself on the opposition forwards, he has put in more physical work. Football is not always easy to play. You have to keep training hard. It's important to be ready. I try to give as much as possible.
In the defensive third of the pitch, he has won possession of the ball 43 times. That is more than all but three players in the league.
You can train that. It's better for the team if you win a duel. It's good for our offensive players when we win many defensive battles. They can only think about scoring.
He is a person who studies the statistics and checks his passing numbers. When he sees the numbers are down, he gets angry. It is part of the game. You have to take it. It rarely happens.
Supporters are drawn to this kind of attitude. There are similarities to Gabriel Heinze. The Sir Matt Busby Award was won by him. The man may follow him in the years to come.
He is a big fan of his fellow man. He says that is correct. Gabriel is my favorite person. I think he's awesome. I like the way he played, he was very aggressive and good in the battles. As a final, every game is. He was one of the best players.
That sounds similar to the man. Is he aware of the similarities? I try to do the same things as him. We are a bit different as well. They talked before he arrived. We talked about life and football.
The man who prioritised his signing was Ten Hag, who had worked with him at Amsterdam. He always wants to play well. He wants his team to win. That's very important.
The mentality will be put to the test against the Blues. The last time the two men were together, they drew 4-4 in the group stage of the European Championship. The game was crazy.
He played in the middle of the field. I am happy to be playing as a centre-back. I'll do it for the team if you have to play either full-back or in the middle. It is fine. You have to be with the team when it's needed.
He was used further forward as a child. The most beautiful position in football was the No 10. Lionel Messi won't need to worry about his World Cup spot. He smiles and says that it was a different level.
He is one of the best central defenders in the premier league. Fees and faith have been justified. The idea of Ten Hag is taking shape. The man he brought with him is the one who should be asked.
He thinks the idea is the same.
He would like to bring that mentality to this place. It is a positive attitude. It can be seen in the game against Spurs. The people were very aggressive. Very good with and without the ball. It will take time.
We have to wait. We are doing well.
It's good enough to bring success this season. Our ultimate goal is to put Manchester United where they deserve to be.
We are in a good place to do it. We need to be humble and take it step by step.
That much is assured with him.
