(Video) Graeme Souness claims Man Utd signing will get โ€˜found outโ€™ in the Premier League

Manchester United summer signing Lisandro Martinez endured a tough first two games at the club but since then, he has impressed fans with back-to-back Man of the Match performance against Liverpool and Southampton.

Martinez has emerged as a leader for United at the base of Unitedโ€™s defence but despite promising performances, he is still facing scrutiny in the press.

The latest pundit to raise doubts over the Argentine is Graeme Souness, who seems to have found a new United player to pick on following Paul Pogbaโ€™s departure over the summer.

โ€œI think Martinez will be sorely tested and be found out in the PL.โ€

โ€œHeโ€™s not special at anything!โ€

โ€œMartinez goes to ground too readily, the clever defenders stay on their feet.โ€

โ€œHeโ€™s vertically challenged, โ€œ Souness told talkSPORT. โ€œAnd I was racking my mind to come up with anyone who played in the Premier League that size and been a success. I think he will get sorely tested and be found out going forward.

โ€œHeโ€™s not particularly special at anything. I would say he stays aggressive. Another thing I donโ€™t like about him โ€“ he goes to ground too readily.

โ€œThat is not a good sign for a defender. Defenders, the clever ones, stay on their feet and are reading it. Theyโ€™re theyโ€™re, theyโ€™re anticipating. If youโ€™re lunging all the time, youโ€™re not reading it,โ€ Souness said.

Itโ€™s quite an extraordinary attack on Souness who has bullied United players in the past for no particular reason. Despite his proven lack of football knowledge, even a former professional like Souness should be able to see the sheer quality Martinez possesses.
