BREAKING NEWS ‼️: “Man United Is the Only Team We Don’t Want to Face and That’s Because of That Guy, He’s So Difficult to Play Against and We’re All Scared of Him”: Nico Williams Names ONE Man United Player Who’s Every Athletic Bilbao Player’s Nightmare
NICO IS SCARED OF ONE PARTICULAR UNITED DEFENDER
In a stunning moment of candid honesty, Spain and Athletic Bilbao sensation Nico Williams has openly admitted that there’s one team — and one player — in Europe he and his teammates at Bilbao do not want to face.
That team is Manchester United.
And that player? None other than Lisandro Martínez, United’s fearless Argentine warrior at the back.
Speaking in an interview ahead of Spain’s upcoming international fixtures, Williams didn’t hold back when asked which club side he finds most uncomfortable to go up against.
> “Man United is the only team we don’t want to face,” Nico said with a nervous laugh. “And that’s because of that guy — Martínez. He’s so difficult to play against, and honestly, we’re all scared of him. He’s a nightmare.”
The Butcher of Old Trafford Strikes Fear Again
Lisandro Martínez, affectionately known among United fans as “The Butcher of Old Trafford”, has once again proven why he’s one of the most respected — and feared — defenders in world football.
Despite his relatively modest height for a centre-back, Martínez has built a reputation as a ruthless tackler, a tactical genius, and a defender who will fight for every blade of grass. He doesn’t just stop attackers — he breaks their rhythm, their confidence, and in some cases, their spirit.
And for Nico Williams, who thrives on pace, dribbling, and flair, the idea of coming up against someone like Martínez is enough to give him pause.
> “It’s not just his tackles or his strength,” Nico continued. “It’s how smart he is. He reads the game like he’s three steps ahead of you. Every time we thought we had space, he was already there.”
A Moment of Truth from a Rising Star
Williams’ comments have gone viral, not just because of who said them — but because of the respect they carry. Nico isn’t just any forward. He’s one of the most promising young talents in La Liga and already a key figure for both Athletic Bilbao and the Spanish national team.
For him to openly admit fear — or at least anxiety — about facing one defender shows just how much of an impact Martínez has made in Europe.
Football is full of pride. Players rarely admit who rattles them. But in this case, the truth slipped out — and United fans are loving every second of it.
United Fans Erupt
The Red Army wasted no time lighting up social media after Williams’ comments. Within minutes, hashtags like #TheButcher, #LisandroFearFactor, and #ScaredOfLicha were trending.
> “Nico Williams said what we all know — Licha doesn’t defend, he dominates,” one fan wrote.
> “Martínez lives rent-free in La Liga attackers’ heads and he’s not even playing there,” joked another.
United’s official social accounts even reposted the quote with a simple emoji: a butcher’s knife.
No caption needed.
Martínez’s Rise to Elite Status
Since joining Manchester United from Ajax, Lisandro Martínez has silenced doubters and proven that heart, intelligence, and pure grit matter more than height or flashy stats.
He arrived amid criticism. Pundits questioned whether a 5’9″ centre-back could survive in the Premier League. But from the very beginning, Martínez imposed himself like a veteran — fearless in the air, aggressive in the tackle, and calm with the ball at his feet.
He was instrumental in United’s defensive improvement last season and played a massive role in their EFL Cup win and return to Champions League football.
Even during injury spells, his presence was sorely missed — United simply didn’t look the same at the back without him.
Now, with a fresh season on the horizon and new talent coming into the squad, Martínez stands as one of the cornerstones of United’s next era under Rúben Amorim.
Not Just a Defender — A Leader
What makes Martínez so unique isn’t just his ability to defend. It’s his passion, leadership, and the way he lifts those around him.
Players like Nico Williams feel it. Even when Martínez isn’t shouting or sliding in for a tackle, his aura is there. A presence. A warning.
> “You look over your shoulder and he’s just… watching,” Nico added with a grin. “You try to sprint, but he’s already moving. You try to cut inside, he’s already read it. It’s frustrating.”
Opposition players aren’t just being stopped by Martínez — they’re being out-thought, out-fought, and outclassed.
A Message to Europe
If a young talent like Nico Williams — full of speed, confidence, and attacking flair — admits fear or hesitation against a defender, the message to the rest of Europe is simple:
Martínez is one of the very best.
And now, even attackers outside of England are making it known — if they can avoid facing Manchester United in European competition, they will.
But if fate brings them to Old Trafford, they know they’ll have to deal with The Butcher.
Amorim’s Fortress Starts with Licha
Rúben Amorim is building a new Manchester United — and it starts from the back. With uncertainty surrounding players like Varane and Maguire, Martínez is the guaranteed name on the teamsheet.
His ability to command, anticipate, and lead will be vital in United’s ambition to compete on multiple fronts next season. Amorim is said to be designing his pressing system with Martínez’s unique skill set in mind — aggressive front-foot defending and vertical progression from the back.
And now, thanks to Nico’s unfiltered honesty, every future opponent will be reminded — this isn’t just a defender. He’s a wall. A leader. A nightmare.
Final Word
Nico Williams’ comments are more than just praise — they’re proof that Lisandro Martínez has entered the upper echelon of defenders in world football. He’s not just feared in the Premier League — he’s respected and avoided across Europe.
In an age where flair and pace dominate the headlines, it’s the old-school warriors like Martínez who remind the world what true defending looks like.
And as Nico put it best:
> “He’s so difficult to play against. We’re all scared of him.”
Mission accompli
shed, Licha.
