Brentford manager admitted the targeted Martinez after Man Utd win
Manchester United suffered a humiliating defeat against Brentford last night.
manager Thomas Frank claimed they have targeted
Lisandro Martinezafter their 4-0 win over
Manchester United.
Martinez joined Manchester United from Ajax for £56.7m last month, but his 5ft 9in height has led to criticism of his transfer. He was also criticized during Manchester United's 2-1 defeat against Brighton, and now Frank claimed that Brentford's target in this match was the 24-year-old defender.
He said:
"We knew we'd more likely either win it or the second ball around it.
"Of course we looked at what Brighton did well against them, and Brighton are also like us in the way they want to play.
"Normally Brighton always build from the goalkeeper, but they went long every single time so of course we looked at that.
"We knew we had that weapon so that's why we did it."
