Martinez enjoyed a fruitful relationship with United's new boss Erik ten Hag and won two Eredivisie titles and was voted Ajax's player of the year last year.

"I want to thank Ajax and their fans for all the support they gave me. Now I am at the perfect club to do this." The new United player spoke to the clubs website and said, "It's an honour to join this great football club," "I’ve worked so hard to get to this moment and, now that I’m here, I’m going to push myself even further.

Martinez’s height hasn’t been an obstacle thus far and there’s no reason to assume that it will in the future. The defender has also commented on the issue in the farewell video posted by Ajax on Wednesday, as seen below. Martinez stands at 5″9 (175cm), which is traditionally short for a centre-back but according to data collected by Opta, Squawka have shown that Martinez’s aerial success rate is up there with some of the tallest Premier League players in his position.

Manchester United new boy Lisandro Martinez will immediately become the shortest central defender in the Premier League after joining from Ajax.

Martinez’s arrival means the average height of United’s centre-backs is 186.5cm, or just over 6ft 1in. “He has an attitude, fighting spirit. Former Italy international Fabio Cannavaro is just a fraction taller than Martinez at 1.76m and is widely regarded as one of the modern greats at centre-back, so there is no reason Martinez’s lack of inches alone would prevent him making a positive impact. While both players stand at around 6ft 6in, Vestergaard is listed on the Premier League website at 1.99m compared to 1.98m for Burn. That makes Vestergaard 24cm, or around nine and a half inches, taller than Martinez. At the other end of the scale, Leicester’s Jannik Vestergaard pips Newcastle’s Dan Burn to the honour of being the tallest centre-back in the Premier League. Aaron Cresswell, shorter than Martinez at 5ft 7in (1.70m), was occasionally pressed into service at centre-back for West Ham last season but continued to operate overwhelmingly in his favoured left-back or wing-back position, playing the equivalent of around three full games in the middle.

Martínez links up again with recently hired United manager Erik ten Hag, who he played under at Ajax, in a signal that the team will have more of a possession-based style this season. Ajax has already said the transfer fee will be 57.37 million euros ($57.9 million) with a potential further 10 million euros for the Dutch club in conditional add-ons. “I’ve been lucky enough to be part of successful teams in my career and that’s what I want to continue at Manchester United. There will be a lot of work to get to that moment, but I firmly believe that under this manager and coaches, and together with my new teammates, we can do it."

So I think, with him, every day you can learn and then, in the game, you can understand also fully – tactics and everything.
