Manchester United have decided not to fly new signings Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez out to Australia to take part in the closing stages of their pre-season tour.
After a slow start to the summer transfer window that sparked unrest amongst supporters, the Red Devils are now starting to begin their rebuild under Erik ten Hag. The former Ajax boss has made it clear that he wants to bring in players that he has worked with previously or knows well.
Thus, reuniting with Martinez and signing former Ajax and Tottenham playmaker Eriksen hardly raised eyebrows. However, their plans for the pair have already taken a hit.
