Erik ten Hag looking close to home to quickly solve Man Utd's problem position

Manchester United are eyeing a summer move for Ajax central defender Lisandro Martinez, according to reports.

Erik ten Hag touched down in the United Kingdom earlier this week, having cut short his time with the Dutch club to get cracking on the massive overhaul required at Old Trafford. The 52-year-old will officially take over from Ralf Rangnick at the end of the season, but plans are already being put in motion.

Ten Hag is fully aware of the deep-rooted issues at the 13-time Premier League winners, which has seen the Red Devils record their lowest points tally in the competition’s history. The Dutchman is said to have demanded a major say in recruitment and will quickly want to put his own stamp on a squad which has vastly underachieved.
