Tottenham Hotspur star, Cristian Romero, has changed his opinion on the world’s best defender, snubbing Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk in favor of Manchester United’s Lisandro Martinez.
Romero, who played a key role in Argentina’s 2022 FIFA World Cup win, was asked prior to the tournament about who the best defender in the Premier League was.
At the time, the 25-year-old picked Van Dijk followed by national teammate Martinez.
However, Romero has now made a U-turn on his previous claims, ignoring Van Dijk in favour of his compatriot Martinez as the best defender in the Premier League.
He told Amazon Prime: “Licha (Lisandro Martinez). He, for me, is by far the best defender in the world.”
Martinez joined Manchester United from Ajax last year.
He has been a key player under Man United manager Erik ten Hag.
