Lisandro Martinez has shared his thoughts on the incident between Andre Onana and Harry Maguire during Manchester United's friendly against Borussia Dortmund.

Onana, who joined the Old Trafford outfit from Inter Milan for £47.2 million, made his debut against Real Madrid before facing Borussia Dortmund.

The Red Devils suffered defeats to both Real and Dortmund, but their new goalkeeper made an instant impression among fans online.

He was seen berating Maguire in a moment that angered talkSPORT pundit Gabriel Agbonlahor, who defended the England international.

Onana himself gave his side of the situation as he hailed his relationship with the former Man United captain.

Martinez has now weighed in on the clash between Onana and Maguire as he liked the passion shown from the Cameroonian.

"It’s better for [it]," the Argentinean defender said. "If you are focused, you can fight with your team-mates as well.

"You need to make sure everyone is really sharp, but nothing happened. It’s part of football.

"He has a big personality, he can play football, he can deal with the pressure, he’s really positive, he’s a leader. That’s the style of Manchester United."

Martinez was also asked about Maguire being stripped of the captaincy by Erik ten Hag. Bruno Fernandes is the new skipper, with the 25-year-old backing the manager's decision.

"It’s the coach’s decision and we need to respect it. He’s the boss," he added.

"If he takes the decision, as a player we need to keep going. Bruno [Fernandes] is a good leader and a good person as well. He’s really positive in the dressing room and I think he deserves it."

Maguire's future continues to be clouded by uncertainty, with West Ham United thought to be keeping tabs on the player.

As for Martinez, he missed the end of last season after picking up an injury against Sevilla in the Europa League.

But he's back to full fitness ahead of the 2023/24 season.
