The Argentine was pictured alongside his agent on a private jet seemingly headed to Manchester, where he is set to undergo a medical and sign his contract. The 24-year-old has been consistently linked with United and Ten Hag has now got his top defensive target. The Dutch side initially remained firm and insisted that their best players would not join Ten Hag at Old Trafford, but have now reneged on their stance.

Lisandro Martinez's move from Ajax to Manchester United is nearing completion, he'll cost around €55 million.

Despite his reasonably small stature (he stands around 5’9″), Martinez is great in the air, tackles brilliantly and can play passes as good as any midfielder, something we touched on HERE. For a club of their stature, Europa League football is simply not good enough and the onus will be on Ten Hag to guide the team back into the Champions League for 2023/24. Martinez will be United’s third signing of the summer after the arrivals of Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord and Christian Eriksen on a free transfer.

NOT EVERYONE will be happy to see Christian Eriksen arrive at Old Trafford.

The arrival of Ten Hag at United was fantastic news for Donny van de Beek, who returned from his loan spell at Everton delighted to be reunited with his old Ajax boss. All three are currently out in Australia with United, trying to impress Ten Hag in training. The signing of Christian Eriksen provided Manchester United with a timely boost on Friday, but it is not good news for everyone at the club. With Bruno Fernandes also untouchable, his chances of getting a regular starting berth suddenly look slim. Announcing the signing, John Murtough, United’s football director, said: “Christian has been one of the best attacking midfielders in Europe throughout his career. Negotiations with Barcelona for top target Frenkie de Jong have stalled, leaving Tyrell Malacia as the only confirmed arrival before Eriksen’s.

Much debate was had about his future but Sir Alex made a decisive move for a player who had grown up with the enemy at Liverpool. The fact he took on Cristiano Ronaldo's no.7 jersey showed the manager was not worried about any of that, saying: "He'll give us experience in the penalty box. The decision disappointed Bhoys boss Martin O'Neill but Sir Alex had been impressed with somebody who caught his eye when he was believed to be scouting Vincent Kompany during a Champions League tie with Anderlecht at Parkhead. "Our relationship with Celtic has always been a good one," stressed Ferguson. "We took Brian McClair in exactly the same end-of-contract circumstances before the Bosman ruling came in. We tried to get Karim Benzema but, as soon as that dropped through, we went for Michael." That was evident early in his Reds career, when he scored a memorable injury-time winner in the Manchester derby, and he finished with 17 goals in 52 outings, including a strike in the League Cup final against Aston Villa. He also helped United win the league in 2010/11, something he had failed to manage at Anfield. However, he was later allowed to join Middlesbrough on a free transfer.Every pre-season game, including Tuesday's match against Crystal Palace, will be shown Fortunately, his output matched his ego and his signing proved a masterstroke, as he led the line superbly under Jose Mourinho. Like Cavani, he had left PSG and wanted to taste English football for the first time. "We were desperate to get him when Peter left because he was here when he was a lad but couldn't get a work permit," said the boss. The late Irish midfielder, who sadly passed away in 2018, failed to renew his contract with Celtic and signed a pre-agreement instead with United in January 2004, as was permitted under the Bosman ruling. However, injuries hampered his second campaign and he left this summer, with 19 goals in 59 matches to his name. The Dane's were big shoes to fill but Ferguson was convinced in the new man after agreeing a four-year contract. With Dean Henderson loaned to Nottingham Forest for the 2022/23 campaign, he could be hoping for more first-team exposure this term. Blanc played 75 times for the Reds and helped the team win the Premier League title in 2002/03. The stylish France international had been on United's radar for so long, even after appearing against Alex Ferguson's team for Montpellier during our successful European Cup Winners' Cup run in 1991.

Erik ten Hag is gradually reshaping his Manchester United side this summer, though some of his pre-season plans for his new signings have already been ...

I still have major ambitions in the game, there is a huge amount that I know I can achieve, and this is the perfect place to continue my journey.” Speaking after his arrival at the club, Eriksen said: “Manchester United is a special club, and I cannot wait to get started. While Arsenal were also in the race for the defender, his history with Ten Hag has been cited as a key reason for why he pushed for a move to Old Trafford rather than the Emirates Stadium.
