Manchester United have confirmed that Lisandro Martinez will become their third signing of the summer transfer window after reaching an agreement with Ajax for his transfer.
The 24-year-old has agreed terms for a five-year contract at Old Trafford with an initial £46.8million fee going to Ajax with a further £8.5m set to come in add-ons, bringing the total up to £55.3m. Martinez follows the £14.1million signing of Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord and the arrival of Christian Eriksen as a free agent following his exit from Brentford.
The arrival of Martinez sees new United boss Erik ten Hag secure one of his key objectives of the summer window and it is also a highly significant one, as it demonstrates how the club backed their new coach ahead of their own recruitment department on the deal.
