Ah he found a clip of 2 moments where Haaland got away from him. Defo a waste of money. I mean Haaland is only one of the best strikers in the world right now.
But of course his beloved Maguire would have had Haaland in his pocket.
Lisandro Martinez | Man Utd player - Contract till 2027, with the option to extend for a further year
- Thread starter roonster09
- Start date

Still got the shot off though. A 5% scoring chance is still a chance.
Who would you have bought (realistically)?
What's so great about what Halaand did in the first move? Couldn't beat his man so he backed off and shot straight at the keeper. Only one of the moves was poor defending. Seems like Haaland's final third work was poor throughout.
Hopefully we don't let our opponents shoot this coming season.
Any update on his visa?
Can we play the friendly during the weekend without visa?
Season opener in 12 mins. Is there a reason for the hold up?

@Cassidy is ITK on this
Still trying to find a photobooth with a suitable high chair to send off some pictures.
Martinez qualifies for a Work Permit automatically.
The criterion is:
It's a formality.
The criterion is:
In the last 2 years, Argentina have had 25 games with Lisandro being fit for 23 and being selected for 14 of them. That's 61%. And Argentina are FIFA ranked 3rd in the world.
It's a formality.
Maybe its going to be a Varane like unveiling.
Is he training with us or is he on vacation?
If he is training, then fine.. if not, I'm surprised this hasnt been wrapped up already.

I was thinking this, not sure it'll have the same effect as Varane though
Might do him and CE together
Wut?
I feel like he'll be used as a DM quite often with Maguire and varane as the ball playing cb's. I believe he's played in the position before and his passing is great.
Who knows, it might work that way

Not too thrilled by either of the CB's work on the second chance to be honest. Why is Lisandro going into midfield leaving a very attractive space for the run and passer to hit behind him and why is Timber so unaware of the danger. Very poor chance to concede as a pair, basic lump through the middle leads to a big chance.
Seeing members of his own fan base slate him for his performance in a clean sheet against one of the worlds best number 9 because said number 9 got chances against him truly is the height of Caf’dom.
He may well be shite for us but let the guy play some first.

Man i cannot wait to see The Butcher From Manchester play! 
We need strong characters like this guy on te pitch.

We have to try something new mate!
Oh you know he will be compared to a Van Dijk career highlight video.
If we’re waiting for the green light for a visa, then he can’t do as much as clean the dishes or do anything work wise for united. It’s a working visa, no visa no work of any kind - which includes playing
doesn't mean he’s not in the country having done a medical and keeping fit, just not publicly doing stufff
Think we've done them all by nowMartinez height jokes have got very tiresome.
This one is the exception
I just don’t get why we need a new defender at all following our stellar clean sheet v Villa.
Oh wait…
Think we've done them all by now
You've really gotta hand it to Martinez. Well, you have to; he can't reach it anyway.
I had to explain my loud guffaw to my wife any daughter. They endured a lengthy Martinez scene-setting before I was able to deliver your masterpiece. Fortunately they agreed it was worth the waitThink we've done them all by now
Slating him? Just a touch dramatic maybe. Every fanbase does this thing with new signings where if they can run without falling over they are the greatest thing ever. Normally after a month you start to get more realistic discussions of strengths and weaknesses, how to work with one and maximise the other.
No-one has said he is shite, they have pointed out a few potential issues of concern with his game.
Or in other words stop being so bloody sensitive.

glad you enjoyed it mate. Lets hope we don't need to talk about his height come the start of the seasonI could be wrong here, but I think you are quoting the FA criterion for aitomaticendorsement. But FA are not the one that decides who gets a work permit.
I heard he found a suitable chair for the photo booth, but the problems occurred when trying to reach for the mail box.
I think getting so far in to midfield was a mistake in this particular situation, but that is the price to pay for the system they played. However fully agree that it was a very poor chance to concede.
I don’t think he has been slated. This clip was, to my best knowledge, posted as some kind of balance to the claim that Haaland was 100% nullified in that game. I personally feel that many people make assumptions without even having watched Martinez playing. Both the assumption that he is too short for PL, and the assumption he some kind of super hero. Agree; let the guy play first.
Oh don’t you worry. Plenty on here and in the press will continue to make a big thing of it.
I wont have anybody keep belittling him.
Took all of a minute to find the below. I’d suggest you stop being so sensitive & actually read the thread before you post paragraphs of drivel.
I think that was just an irony post about his height, like most of the pun posts in the thread
The one saying Martinez looked like a child whilst saying only Maguire gets shit? Check his posts on the same page, he goes on to reinforce the viewpoint.
Oh. Thats a shame because the pun was good!
Oh wow, one person engaged in hyperbole on the internet, that has never happened before.
Why does it seem like our players struggle to get a working visa? I swear it gets sorted way faster at other clubs..
