Manchester defender Lisandro Martinez told teammate Harry Maguire during Sunday's FA Cup win over Fulham that he was defending too deep. Jamie Carragher, a former Liverpool centre-back and current sportscaster, described the Argentine's height as a big problem for United manager Erik ten Hag.

This claim was made by former Manchester United player Paul Parker. Maguire is currently on international duty with the England national team as they prepare for their Euro 2024 qualifying matches.

The Man United captain was paired with Martinez when they defeated Fulham 3-1 in the FA Cup quarter-final a few days ago. He has not played regularly for a long time and has defensive problems every time he has the opportunity to play, was what people on social networks commented about Maguire.

They also claim that Argentina's World Cup star was clearly saying something to Maguire, adding that he couldn't understand why the former Leicester City star couldn't understand how Man United manager Erik ten Hag wants to Let your team play.

Lisandro Martínez has managed to turn criticism into praise with Manchester United

Only two games had passed and some were already asking if Lisandro Martinez had a future at Manchester United. In a matter of months, the World Champion player with Argentina has established himself as a cornerstone in United's fight for four trophies. And he has become one of the most dominant defenders in the Premier League.
