New Manchester United signing Lisandro Martinez has been backed to help improve the performances of both Raphael Varane and club captain Harry Maguire.
The pair faced criticism for last season’s woes, with Maguire underwhelming and Varane constantly injured. Both are set to play important roles under Erik ten Hag.
Martinez, who won two Dutch titles with Ten Hag at Ajax, is a different type of defender to Maguire and Varane. While he is smaller in stature, he has more pace and his passing skills are superior to those of his defensive colleagues.
