Burnley manager Vincent Kompany has rubbished claims that Manchester United centre-back Lisandro Martinez is too small to thrive in English football.
Kompany has made the admission ahead of his side, who currently sit at the top of the Championship table, visiting Old Trafford in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening. Martinez will play no part in the fixture after Argentina's win over France in Sunday's World Cup final in Qatar.
The Argentina international joined United during the summer transfer window from Ajax, following in the footsteps of Erik ten Hag, who had swapped Amsterdam for Manchester a couple of months earlier. The Reds invested more than £50million in Martinez's signature, such was Ten Hag's determination to be reunited with him.
