Edwin van der Sar sends parting message to Lisandro Martinez after sealing Man Utd move

Edwin van der Sar has hailed new Manchester United signing Lisandro Martinez after he finally completed his £55million exit from Ajax.

Martinez has signed a five-year deal to link back up with Erik ten Hag and become the new Red Devils manager's third summer signing. The Argentine starred under Ten Hag at Ajax, winning two Eredivisie titles and being named the club's player of the year last season.

He had become a fan favourite at the Johan Cruyff Arena, earning the nickname 'The Butcher of Amsterdam'. His committed performances led to interest from both Arsenal and United, with the latter eventually winning the race to sign him.
