Jamie Carragher claims Gary Neville "getting carried away" over Man Utd star's impact

Jamie Carragher is refusing to change his mind on Lisandro Martinez, telling Gary Neville that he's "getting carried away" with the Manchester United defender's impressive turnaround.

Martinez endured a torrid start to his Red Devils career following his £55million transfer from Ajax, prompting Carragher to conclude that Erik ten Hag 's hotly-debated decision to play the 5ft9in Argentine at centre-back in the Premier League simply "can't work".

Since then, Martinez has responded emphatically by winning United's Player of the Month award and picking up back-to-back Man of the Match accolades during the Red Devils' resurgent run of four successive wins. In the wake of another assured display in the Sunday's 3-1 win against Arsenal, Neville wanted to know if Carragher had altered his opinion on the ex-Ajax centre-back - but the Liverpool legend was steadfast.
