EPL: He’s sharp – Wes Brown gives verdict on Man Utd’s new summer signing

Wes Brown, a former Manchester United defender, has weighed in on the club’s new summer signing, Lisandro Martinez.

Martinez, according to Brown, is sharp and quick, and he likes the Argentine international.

Martinez is Manchester United’s latest summer signing, having joined from Ajax.

Last weekend, the centre-back made his Premier League debut as Manchester United lost 2-1 to Brighton at Old Trafford.

“He played well,” Brown was quoted by Man United’s official website as saying.

“I was still looking at the size of him, but I like him. He’s sharp, he’s in your face, he’s not scared of getting involved and he passed the ball out well. He took up some good positions and for his home Premier League debut, it was not a bad one for him personally, even if it was the team.

“I think he is quick, he reads the game well and he doesn’t look like he panics when people are running at him with the ball. He was good. I know we got beat, but personally, he was good.”
