Lisandro Martinez is closing in on a move to Manchester United - but only after the player personally rejected an approach from Arsenal, according to reports.
Erik ten Hag has chased the Argentinian for much of his first summer window at Old Trafford and looks poised to land one of his top targets. Mirror Football reported on Wednesday that Ajax had accepted defeat in their bid to keep the 24-year-old, after he made his desire to join United clear.
Negotiations between the two clubs have been ongoing for a number of weeks and after a breakthrough, there is now hope a deal could be concluded quickly. United weren’t the only team to be in the reckoning for Martinez however, with the Gunners registering more than one bid for the versatile defender.
