Lisandro Martinez claims he has joined one of the "best clubs in the world" as the defender put pen to paper on a five-year deal at Manchester United. The 24-year-old joined the Red Devils from Ajax this summer for roughly £48million plus add-ons.
Martinez was also linked with a move to Arsenal this season as Mikel Arteta looked to strengthen his squad in both quality and depth during the transfer window. At this stage, the Spaniard has spent over £100million, adding five new players into the fold at the Emirates Stadium.
The pursuit of the Argentina international could have been to help cover several positions, with his ability to play at left-back, centre-back and in midfield. All three areas were issues at one stage or another for the Gunners when it came to depth, due to injuries and suspensions.
