Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez arrive for first Manchester United training session

Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez will both meet their new Manchester United teammates for the first time on Tuesday following their arrival in the summer transfer window.

United completed the signing of Danish international Eriksen on a free transfer earlier this month after he penned a three-year contract at the club following his release from Brentford.

The 30-year-old became United's second signing of the summer under new manager Erik ten Hag, but did not meet up with his side during their recent pre-season tour of Australia and Thailand.

EXCLUSIVE: United to play behind-closed-doors friendly this week

United have confirmed the imminent signing of Argentina international Lisandro Martinez from Ajax but the transfer is yet to be officially completed. Ten Hag's side have agreed a fee of £46.8million, rising to £55.3m, for Martinez on a five-year contract, plus an extra optional year.

The Reds arrived back in England over the weekend and were given Monday off to rest and recuperate before returning to training on Tuesday.

Eriksen and Martinez are both set to get their first minutes in a United shirt in the coming days, with Ten Hag's side playing three matches before the Premier League starts next week.

United will face National League side Wrexham in a behind-closed-doors friendly on Wednesday, with a number of senior players set to be involved.

Ten Hag's side then face Atletico Madrid in Oslo on Saturday, before a second-string side takes on Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford a day later.

United begin their Premier League campaign a week on Sunday when they host Brighton at Old Trafford.
