Manchester United Sign Lisandro Martinez

 

Argentine Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez has signed for Manchester United in a five-year deal worth £57m. 

Martinez's signing is the third completed this summer by the club after Christian Eriksen and Tyrell Malacia. He was signed to Ajax under United current manager Erik ten Hag in 2019 - both have now reunited at Old Trafford. 

"I've worked so hard to get to this moment," said Martinez. "Now that I'm here, I'm going to push myself even further."

The newly-signed player had a trophy-ladden times at Ajax where he won the Dutch Eredivisie title twice and a Dutch Cup. 

United signed Eriken from Brentford to replace Paul Pogba left the club to rejoin Juventus after his contract ran out in June.
