Lisandro Martinez has become the third signing of the Erik ten Hag era at Manchester United and his arrival brings plenty of possibilities to the side.
The 24-year-old has joined the club for an initial £46.8million fee , with a further £8.5m set to come in add-ons, bringing the total up to £55.3m. He has agreed to a five-year contract worth £120,000 and joins Tyrell Malacia and Christian Eriksen at the club.
In the statement announcing his arrival, Manchester United described him as “Argentine international defender Lisandro Martinez”. Although that is true – he has won seven caps for his country and played the majority of his 118 appearances for Ajax in defence – it doesn’t properly reflect Martinez’s flexibility.
