Jamie Carragher issued an apology over his doubts on Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez – naming him as his biggest surprise of the Premier League season.
Carragher slammed United boss Erik ten Hag 's decision to play the Argentine international at the heart of his defence earlier this season. The Sky Sports pundit had urged United to take his £55million signing out of the firing line.
Carragher’s concerns over Martinez were focused on his lack of height. Standing at five-foot nine-inches, the Argentina international is the division's shortest centre-back, but Martinez has confounded the critics with his performances this season as a key player for United.
