Man Utd announced Lisandro Martinez

Martinez considered Man Utd as the perfect stop for him to try in a new environment. "I believe under the guidance of coach Erik Ten HAG et al., Man Utd can achieve success," he said.

Man Utd had to pay Ajax $ 59 million in the transfer fee. Another amount of "Red Devils" has to pay an additional $ 10 million if Martinez has achieved certain achievements at Old Trafford.

Football Director Man Utd John Murtough also said that Martinez is a "excellent player", but it can still progress even more. "He will bring quality and experience to Ten HAG's squad," he said.

Martinez was born in Guleguay, Argentina on January 18, 1998, mature and Newell's Old Boys club. He joined Ajax in the summer of 2019 and competed under Ten HAG. In the three seasons, the two of them worked together, Ajax won the Netherlands. Martinez alone is elected as the best player in the 2021-2022 season.

The Martinez deal was controversial with Man Utd fans, because he was only 1m75 tall and could be arranged with a center -back - a position considered to require better height. He can also play the defensive midfielder, although coach Ten HAG thinks that the most suitable position of this player is the center -back.

Martinez was a member of Argentina U20 to Vietnam to play, preparing for the 2017 U20 World Cup. But at that time, he was not too prominent compared to his teammates like striker Lautaro Martinez. But U20 Argentina still won U20 Vietnam 4-1 and lowered U22 Vietnam 5-0.

Martinez was the third rookie of Man Utd in the summer of 2022, after the left -back Tyrell Malacia and midfielder Christan Eriksen. They are also pursuing defensive midfielder Frenchie de Jong, although this player does not want to leave Barca.
