It’s natural, and that’s why opponents have been targeting Manchester United’s 5ft 9in center back Lisandro Martinez. Lisandro Martinez endured a difficult evening against Brentford on SaturdayIt looked like he was deliberately targeted by Ivan Toney, and Martinez came off second bestBrighton did it last weekend, abandoning their usual plan of playing out from the back to send long balls towards Martinez. Brentford saw that and targeted him, too, feeling it was a weak link they could expose. Like how Brentford striker Ivan Toney targeted Ben White at the start of last season on his Arsenal debut. Not a single player in Ten Hag’s team has come out of the last two defeats with any credit.
