Manchester United have joined the race to sign Ajax defender and Arsenal target Lisandro Martinez if recent reports are to be believed.
The Gunners are keen to sign a left-centre back in the summer transfer window as manager Mikel Arteta looks to provide first-choice Gabriel Magalhaes with competition next term. Argentine international Martinez, who can also play left-back and holding midfield, is said to be one of the north Londoners' key targets with The Athletic reporting that Arsenal have already seen a bid in the region of €30 million (£25 million) rejected by Ajax.
The same report claims that the 24-year-old is keen to join Arteta's side but according to Dutch outlet Telegraaf, Manchester United have now joined the race for the tough-tackling defender. It is reported that the Red Devils have switched their attention to Martinez after failing to sign his teammate Jurrien Timber.
