There is a popular radio station in the United Kingdom that thrives by producing controversial content for social media. That radio station gives a platform to divisive pundits and they were among the people who criticised Manchester United this summer.
United were criticised for signing Lisandro Martinez from Ajax in July for a fee of £46.8million, rising to £55.3m, on a five-year contract and it was claimed the centre-back was not tall enough for the Premier League, and that he would struggle to succeed.
Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher was another who doubted Martinez. The 24-year-old started in the Brentford debacle and he was hooked at half-time in that match, which led to Carragher predicting that he would simply not be able to play in a back four.
