But the 24-year-old has silenced his critics by delivering stellar performances in defence.

Former Man United defender Rio Ferdinand hailed Martinez and his partnership with Varane.
"Martinez has been top this season but Varane gives us that something different, that speed, that experience and physicality," he said. "I think he could be a huge loss.
"You need them two [Varane and Martinez] back together. We've seen straight away that those two together make us a different team, it's as simple as that."
