Lisandro Martinez is surprised by how quickly Manchester United fans have taken to him.
The defender was signed in a £55 million transfer from Ajax and his arrival was initially met with criticism, with pundits and fans concerned that the diminutive Argentine would not have the physicality to cope with the Premier League.
But despite his smaller stature, Martinez has been an integral part of United's upturn in form and has started to gain support from the club's fans.
He told MUTV: "I am really happy. I'm a little bit surprised, but at the same time I feel very proud.
"To come here to the best club in the world and the people say 'Argentina, Argentina', it's amazing. Thanks to the fans for the support."
