Manchester United target Lisandro Martinez has revealed how he used to watch footage of Joshua Kimmich to help hone his craft as a defensive midfielder.
Martinez is on Erik ten Hag’s transfer list this summer as the Red Devils head coach eyes more signings to follow the £14m arrival of left-back Tyrell Malacia. The 52-year-old is keen to swoop for Ajax centre-back Martinez due to his versatility and is hoping to reunite with the Argentine with pushing through a £40m deal.
The 24-year-old, who predominantly plays as a centre-back but can also deputise at left-back and in midfield, has adapted his style of play since joining the Eredivisie giants in 2019 from Defensa y Justicia. Martinez endured a difficult start to life in the Netherlands after struggling with the transition from Argentinian football, which may provide a cause for concern for United fans as he looks to make the move from Dutch football.
