Lisandro Martinez has been brilliant for Man United this season.
The 25-year-old defender was brought in by Erik ten Hag last summer from Ajax and questions were asked about the defender’s physicality.
He initially struggled to find his feet and lost to opening defeats against Brighton and Brentford.
Many pundits suggested that the World Cup winner was too short to succeed in the Premier League including Jamie Carragher.
But the Argentine has gone on to become one of the most consistent performers at United this season.
Pundit Jamie Carragher admits that Martinez has silenced his critics with his colossal form in his debut season.
“I think he’s been brilliant,” he told The Overlap. “To be that small and play at centre-back, you’ve obviously got to be a special player, a good player.
“I didn’t think someone of that size could cope in the Premier League, and he has coped. I think he’s been brilliant.
“I think it was a game I saw a few weeks ago when he was actually a sub, and someone scored a late goal, and he was right involved. This was only two or three weeks ago. I think him and Casemino coming in, it feels more powerful, stronger. But I didn’t think a centre-back that size would be able to cope.”
