If he’s really good at all of those or fantastic, that will compensate for his lack of height." "But if I think of the best centre-back I’ve ever seen it is Franco Baresi. "The thing I would say about Martinez is that he’s really aggressive, reads the game well, gets on the ball well. "The reason why they're gonna have a huge problem with him at centre-back is every single team that play Manchester United - maybe bar Man City and Liverpool, who might feel, 'we don't need to change for Man United' - should target that.
