Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has conceded he was wrong about Lisandro Martinez.

The Manchester United defender came in for heavy criticism when he first arrived at the club.

Martinez was stated to be too short to succeed in the Premier League, according to Carragher's previous comments.

The Liverpool legend told Sky Sports in August: "What I would say about him, because of his size, is that is a problem for him. No matter what anyone says, being 5ft 9in is a problem."

Now, during The Overlap Live Fan Debate, he stated: "Lisandro Martnez has been brilliant. To be that small and play centre-back, you obviously have to be a special player.

"He's been a big part of Manchester United's spirit. There was a game I saw a few weeks ago and he was a sub, and someone scored a late goal, and he was right involved in the celebrations."
