Graeme Souness insists Lisandro Martinez "not special at anything" despite Jaap Stam claim

Graeme Souness has issued a scathing assessment of Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez and even claimed the £56million-man is "not special at anything".

The Argentine international was purchased from Ajax earlier in the summer after a bidding war between United and their long-term Premier League rivals Arsenal saw the Red Devils come out on top. However, a shaky showing on his debut against Brighton followed by the 4-0 humiliation at Brentford saw Martinez come under huge scrutiny.

Conceding six goals inside your opening two outings is hardly ideal for a defender, but some would simply put that down to adjusting to the rigours of a new league and having yet to establish an on-pitch connection with your new teammates - Souness, however, wasn't so forgiving.
