Lisandro Martinez admits he is 'surprised' by how quickly Man United fans have taken to him after chants of 'Argentina!' from their supporters... as the £55m signing claims he has joined the 'best club in the world'

Summer signing Lisandro Martinez is 'proud' of the way he has managed to build a reputation for the Manchester United fans to get behind.

The defender was signed in a £50million transfer from Ajax as Erik ten Hag's first major deal as the Red Devils' boss, however, his arrival was met with criticism as pundits and fans were concerned that Martinez would not have the physicality to cope with the Premier League.

But despite his smaller stature, Martinez has managed to prove to be an important part of United's upturn in form and he has started to gain support from the club's fans.
