"He reminds me of a Carlos Tevez" - Wes Brown names his Manchester United player of the month for August 

Former Premier League footballer Wes Brown has named his Manchester United Player-of-the-Month for August.

The Red Devils have nominated Raphael Varane, Tyrell Malacia, and Lisandro Martinez for the Player-of-the-Month award. However, the retired Manchester United centre-back believes that Martinez deserves to be the recipient.

The Argentine defender completed a move to Old Trafford for a reported £57 million fee earlier this summer. Martinez has been a trustworthy pillar at the back, featuring in all four of United's Premier League fixtures this season.

Brown said (per the club's official website):

“For me with Varane, I don't expect anything less and that's the honest truth. He is so experienced with everything he has won. The way he is playing, he didn't [need to] make a tackle against Southampton and that just shows [he is] a world-class defender."

He continued:

“If Varane can stay fit, he will do that more consistently throughout the season. But, for me, the Player of the Month has got to be Martinez.

Brown further went on to compare the 24-year-old Argentine to former Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez.

He said:

“He reminds me of a Carlos Tevez at the back - he just doesn't give you any rest, he is always there. The striker gets the ball and he thinks he can have a nice day, but then boom, he's having it [laughs]! Some fouls don’t matter either and I like it. He’s on you, he'll give you [a challenge] and then run off. The striker is [left] wondering what it was for."

He further continued:

“He just gets on with it all day. He’s there for 90 minutes, always on his toes, and it’s up to you to do something about it. That’s why I say Martinez. To come back from those first two games when he got a lot of stick, it takes a lot of character.”
