Lisandro Martinez's admiration for Erik ten Hag is no secret, as his former Ajax boss looks for a reunion at Manchester United.
The 24-year-old spent three seasons under the new Red Devils manager's tutelage in Amsterdam and will have the chance to reunite with Ten Hag in Manchester if Ajax's asking price is met. United have submitted an improved £39.6million transfer bid to sign the Ajax defender.
Previously tipped to join Arsenal before the Gunners' first offer was rejected, United have quickly swooped in as they look to add defensive reinforcements of their own, with Martinez wanted by Ten Hag to provide a new centre-back option at Old Trafford.
