Manchester United are edging closer to sealing a deal for Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez.
Ajax are resigned to losing the Argentina international, 24, who has told them of his desire to move to Old Trafford. United are understood to have submitted an improved bid for Martinez which is thought to be in the region of £46million.
The defender is expected to complete a group of four-centre halves that Erik ten Hag will use for the season ahead, playing alongside and being rotated with Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane and Victor Lindelof, with the likes of Axel Tuanzebe, Eric Bailly and Phil Jones deemed surplus to requirements.
