Lisandro Martinez was pleased with how Manchester United defended against Tottenham on Wednesday night.
Manchester United players dominate fans' combined XI with Man City
02.10.2022 - 12:41 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United players have dominated the supporters' combined starting line-up ahead of today's derby.
United find themselves in fifth place in the Premier League table going into the clash, having bounced back from a poor start to the season which saw them lose their opening two matches. Before the international break, Erik ten Hag's team won four on the trot in the Premier League to rise to just outside the Champions League places.
City meanwhile have picked up just where they left off in the last campaign. Pep Guardiola's men have yet to taste defeat in the top flight of Champions League so far this season.

Despite their great start, only three of their players have made it into the combined XI chosen by Manchester Evening News readers. Here is who has made the cut.
Goalkeeper - David de Gea
Question marks have remained around David de Gea's long term future at Old Trafford. With his contract running out at the end of the season and the horror show at Brentford still fresh in the memory, some have doubted whether he has a future under Erik ten Hag.
However, he is still preferred to Ederson in goal for this combined line-up. The Brazilian goalkeeper may feel slightly hard done by considering he has kept four clean sheets in seven Premier League matches this season.
Defenders - Diogo Dalot, Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane, Tyrell Malacia
Since the changes made by Ten Hag following the nightmare in the capital, United's back line has looked impenetrable. Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane's partnership has looked rock solid while Tyrell Malacia has been a revelation at left-back.
Defence may have been the trickiest area of the pitch to choose which players
