Lisandro Martinez "beast" claim shows Man Utd ace cut from same cloth as Cristiano Ronaldo

Lisandro Martinez has made quite the impression in Manchester United's last four Premier League matches after a struggling start to life at Old Trafford.

The 24-year-old made his United bow in their 2-1 defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion on the opening day, before being slammed following the Red Devils' 4-0 thumping at Brentford. Martinez was hooked at half-time with United four-nil down and he received some pretty brutal criticism after the game.

Gary Neville claimed that Martinez wasn't capable of playing in a back-four away at a team like Brentford and admitted the Bees targeted him while the Argentine was on the pitch. "Maybe on the left in a back three – that could potentially work," Neville told Sky Sports, when assessing what position Martinez would be better suited.
