Manchester United transfer chiefs Richard Arnold and John Murtough are 'inter-railing around Europe' to conclude several transfers.
United CEO Arnold and football director Murtough left Barcelona on Wednesday after several days of trying to clinch a deal to sign Barca midfielder Frenkie de Jong. The pair had jetted to the Catalan capital on Monday and despite reaching an agreement with the club, have yet to formalise the deal due to the player not yet agreeing to sign.
The club's focus has now shifted to a deal for Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez, with United closing in on a £46million deal to sign the Argentine. The defender was identified as a potential target after missing out on his teammate Jurrien Timber. Arsenal had also been interested in Martinez but are now believed to be out of the running.
