Souness hits at Man Utd’s summer signing
<h4><span style="font-size: 20px;">The former Liverpool player Graeme Souness has criticized Lisandro Martinez, who joined Manchester United this summer.</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">Martinez, according to Souness, is not very good at anything, and playing against Erling Haaland of Manchester City will be a mismatch.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">Earlier in the current summer transfer season, Martinez moved to Man United from Ajax.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">But Souness thinks Martinez&#8217;s height may pose greater issues in the future, especially when he encounters more powerful forwards like Haaland.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">&#8220;I was watching the game at the weekend, they [Southampton] were putting Che Adams up against him and the goalkeeper and other members of that Southampton team were loading it down that left-hand side trying to stick it on his [Martinez] head,” Souness told talkSPORT.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">“He’s vertically challenged and I was racking my mind to come up with anyone who’s played in the Premier League or indeed the [old] first division that size and been a success.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">“I think he will get sorely tested and be found out going forward. Against Haaland, Nunes or Mitrovic, oh dear me, it will be a mismatch.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">“He’s not particularly special at anything,” Souness added</span></p>
