“I’ve faced Saliba, Gabriel, and even trained with Van Dijk daily… but I’ve never seen a defender like him before” – Mo Salah finally reveals the ONE Manchester United wall that always gives him nightmares in the Premier League
—
BREAKING NEWS: Mohamed Salah, Liverpool’s Egyptian King, has sent shockwaves across England after making a stunning confession about a Premier League rival. Despite playing alongside Virgil van Dijk — one of the best defenders in the world — and coming up against Arsenal’s iron duo William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães, Salah admits there is ONE Manchester United defender who always gives him hell on the pitch.
In a recent revelation, Salah did not hold back his admiration:
> “I have played against William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhães and even train with Van Dijk every day, but I must confess I haven’t seen such a dangerously aggressive defender of his quality before. I really wish he could join us here at Liverpool.”
This bombshell has left fans scrambling to figure out who Salah was talking about. And the answer is none other than Lisandro Martínez, the fiery Argentine nicknamed “The Butcher of Old Trafford.”

Why Salah Fears Martínez
Whenever Liverpool and United clash, Salah is usually the man United fear most. But in recent battles, Martínez has stood toe-to-toe with him, never giving an inch. His combination of brute aggression, fearless tackles, and smart positioning makes him a nightmare for any attacker — even one of Salah’s class.
Martínez’s approach is simple but brutal: cut off space, get into your face, and make you feel his presence every second. Unlike Saliba, who relies on elegance, or Van Dijk, who uses calm authority, Martínez thrives on chaos, pressing attackers relentlessly until they crack.

A Dream Partnership That Will Never Happen?
Salah’s statement about wishing Martínez was at Liverpool has set social media ablaze. Liverpool fans are already fantasizing about a partnership of Van Dijk and Martínez at Anfield, a mix of elegance and aggression that could dominate Europe.
But the reality is harsh. United would never sell their defensive pitbull to their fiercest rivals. If anything, this shows just how much respect Salah has for a player who divides opinion but wins battles on the pitch.
