Tottenham Hotspur fans will love a series of answers that Man United’s Lisandro Martinez gave about his international teammate, Cristian Romero.
Atletico Madrid showed a keen interest in taking Romero to the Spanish capital during last summer’s transfer window.
The La Liga club were reportedly ready to spend big on the Tottenham star, but the Lilywhites held firm and resisted the interest from Diego Simeone’s side.
Eventually, Romero signed a new long-term contract with Spurs, and he is now an indispensable part of the club’s current project, being named captain by Thomas Frank.

Lisandro Martinez has now answered a series of questions about where Romero ranks among the best, which shows just how highly the Man United man rates the Tottenham captain.
