Lisandro Martinez will likely reinforce Manchester United s leaky defense

Manchester United had a poor season last time out. A big problem in their overall play was their leaky defence. They kept only 10 shutouts in 49 matches across competitions all season. United conceded a mammoth 69 goals, 57 of which came in 38 league games. Despite switching formations and trying different personnel, their defensive worries got the better of Manchester United. Captain Harry Maguire received a lot of stick for his poor outings. Raphael Varane had an injury-hit season while Eric Bailly and Phil Jones hardly got a run of games under their belt. Lindelof, despite playing 35 games, did not look confident at the back for the Red Devils. Hence, getting a new player like Martinez, who is physically strong as well, might help United. The 24-year-old centre-back has been brilliant for the Dutch side since signing for them in 2019. He also has prior experience of working with the new Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag.
