Graeme Souness is still not convinced about Lisandro Martinez has established himself as a fan favorite since joining from Ajax in the summer, but Graeme Souness remains doubtful. Manchester United signed Martinez from Dutch giants for a deal worth up to £56.7 million in the summer. With the defender standing at just 5'9, a lot was said about his height at the time. However, the Argentinean has since gone on to prove his doubters wrong by becoming Erik ten Hag's first-choice centre-back at Old Trafford. He has started in each of the Red Devils' 12 Premier League matches this term. Having helped the team keep five clean sheets, Martinez is proving to be pivotal to Manchester United's push to finish in the top four. His aggression has particularly captured the fans' imagination. Not all, though, are still convinced about the 24-year-old's abilities, with Souness being among the naysayers. The former Liverpool star is still of the view that the defender will eventually get found out in the Premier League. Souness acknowledged that Martinez has the ability to make players around him better. However, the Scot insisted that the defender's size will prevent him from being extremely successful in the Premier League. He told talkSPORT [via ]: “I don’t think he is terribly quick, I don’t think he is terribly good on the ball but he has got something about him that makes other people play. He has got real aggression." “I think he will [get found out in the Premier League], common sense tells you that. 5’9 and he is playing against guys 6’2 so he will get pinned occasionally. He will get outsprinted occasionally and he will get caught." "I can’t tell you that a centre-back in my time in the English game that was super successful being that size.” “Martinez has brought aggression.”? “But I still think Martinez isn’t terribly quick, or terribly good on the ball!”
