Manchester United confirm Lisandro Martinez transfer

Manchester United have confirmed the imminent signing of Argentina international Lisandro Martinez from Ajax.

United have agreed a fee of £46.8million, rising to £55.3m, for Martinez on a five-year contract, plus an extra optional year. The club say the deal is still subject to a medical, but an announcement was required as Ajax had to inform the Amsterdam stock exchange of material transactions.

Martinez, 24, flew into Manchester on Friday with his agent and United are expected to complete the deal in the coming days. United manager Erik ten Hag wanted Martinez signed in time to link up with the squad on their pre-season tour in Australia but he will not travel to Perth and is likely to make his debut against Atletico Madrid in Oslo on July 30.
