#PLStories- Lisandro Martinez praises two Manchester United teammates after Europa League win vs Real Betis #MUFC

Lisandro Martinez is delighted for Bruno Fernandes and Antony after they scored for Manchester United against Real Betis. The players received heavy criticism after the Anfield debacle, but a comfortable win in the Europa League, just four days later, was an ideal response to that setback and Martinez spoke to MUTV after the final whistle to reflect on the display.

Lisandro Martinez said: “It was a great result for us, but we have to keep going. It doesn’t say anything this result. It’s the first leg and when we go to Betis, we have to be ready and focused, especially in their home, they play well and have the support of their people. We are happy for this game. I think the energy of the team [lacked], they started to play, and in the second half we changed the passion, the energy and we showed our mentality and we created more chances, then we score. He’s a really good player [Antony], with a lot of quality, his skills are amazing and I’m happy for him because it’s important for his confidence. I’m really happy with the job of the team. I’m happy for him [Fernandes] as well, as like you say, there was a lot of criticism to our team but it’s like this when you play for a big, big team, it can happen, so you have to be ready and be happy with where we are.”
