Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has predicted Premier League strikers - including Darwin Nunez - to ‘target’ Lisandro Martinez.
The Red Devils centre-back has suffered a torrid start to life at Old Trafford after arriving this summer for £57million, making his debut in the 2-1 home defeat to Brighton on the opening weekend before being bullied by Brentford in Saturday’s 4-0 humiliation.
Much has been made of the 24-year-old’s height - he stands at 5ft 9in - and Brentford’s third goal highlighted such vulnerabilities, with Ben Mee towering above the Argentinian to nod home from close range. And former Old Trafford favourite Ferdinand has claimed the likes of Nunez will be licking their lips at the prospect of challenging Martinez aerially.
