Lisandro Martinez

On 19 October last year, Ajax came up against Haaland and Dortmund in the Champions League group stage and absolutely blitzed the Bundesliga outfit 4-0.

You guys have the clear case of Maguire. In Argentina we know that he is a young prodigy along with Senesi and Romero. He is a very positional and intelligent player. Martinez can play a key role in defense for United." He hasn't shown anything he can do yet." But they have now accepted defeat and a £46 million transfer is said to be nearing closer. Martinez has also been linked to Arsenal and has told Ajax of his desire to play in the Premier League. Haaland had destroyed so many teams and always seemed to find the net in the Champions League. But on this occasion he was easily nullified by Martinez, who was fearless and aggressive in the duels and didn't give him a sniff of goal.

The Red Devils have previously made two offers for the Argentine, who is capable of playing at centre-back, full-back and in a holding midfield role, and have been keen to wrap up a deal as quickly as possible amid interest from Arsenal.

MANCHESTER UNITED are edging closer to reuniting Erik ten Hag with the Ajax defender.

Supporters could get a first glimpse of Martinez in action during the Australian leg of the pre-season tour, where his primary role could become clearer. It poses the question - is Ten Hag recruiting Martinez to bolster his midfield-focused recruitment strategy?

MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly closing in on a summer move to Manchester United.

The club are on the lookout for a central midfielder to replace Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic ahead of next season and have been left frustrated in talks with Barcelona over a move for Frenkie de Jong, who is believed to be Ten Hag's top target as things stand. Further discussions were held at a meeting on Wednesday as United moved closer to striking a deal with Ajax, who are said to be resigned to losing their player in exchange for a transfer fee of around £46million.

Manchester United are closing in on the £46million signing of Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez, who will offer a major point of difference for Erik ten Hag's ...

The Argentina international is confident on the ball, good in the air for a player of 5ft 10in and will offer some much-needed competition for United’s captain. That causes issues in possession, but also out of it, with United potentially vulnerable to runs down the left channel, between left-back and centre-back. Every one of the six centre-backs currently on United’s books is right-footed – and that has caused a long-standing issue. That versatility is a major asset for Ten Hag, but there is perhaps another reason why the Dutchman was so keen to sign him. Nevertheless, there is – finally – something to get excited about for the United manager and the club’s fans. De Jong is no closer to becoming a United player and Ten Hag will have to continue planning without him as the pre-season tour reaches Melbourne.

Supporters are eager to see the 24-year-old at Old Trafford next season as Man Utd chase a transfer.

It has received a number of comments from United supporters who are keen for Martinez to become their second signing of the summer. Obviously he wants to implement a back three system and one of either of them will perfectly complement the slow Maguire, Lindelof and Varane. United saw an initial £37m bid rejected by the Dutch champions but are hopeful a deal can be done soon.
