Lisandro Martinez told Ajax he wanted to move to the next level in transfer talks before he signed for Manchester United this summer.
United announced their agreement to sign Martinez from Ajax on Sunday afternoon. The Reds agreed a fee of £46.8million, rising to £55.3m, for Martinez on a five-year contract, plus an extra optional year, and he will soon become Erik ten Hag's third signing of the summer.
Although Martinez, 24, will not travel to Perth to join United on their tour of Australia, he is likely to make his debut against Atletico Madrid in Oslo on July 30 instead. Martinez is a left-footed centre-back and made 36 appearances for Ajax last term.
