Martinez is not afraid to get stuck in - in fact, he loves a challenge - is capable of playing in either a back three or a back four and has decent pace to boot. Despite his stature - he is 5ft 9in (or 175cm) and will be the shortest centre-back in the Premier League if he completes his move to Old Trafford - he is a dominant presence in the air.

Manchester United are closing in on the £46million signing of Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez, who will offer a major point of difference for Erik ten Hag's ...

The Argentina international is confident on the ball, good in the air for a player of 5ft 10in and will offer some much-needed competition for United’s captain. That causes issues in possession, but also out of it, with United potentially vulnerable to runs down the left channel, between left-back and centre-back. Every one of the six centre-backs currently on United’s books is right-footed – and that has caused a long-standing issue. That versatility is a major asset for Ten Hag, but there is perhaps another reason why the Dutchman was so keen to sign him. Nevertheless, there is – finally – something to get excited about for the United manager and the club’s fans. De Jong is no closer to becoming a United player and Ten Hag will have to continue planning without him as the pre-season tour reaches Melbourne.

Supporters are eager to see the 24-year-old at Old Trafford next season as Man Utd chase a transfer.

It has received a number of comments from United supporters who are keen for Martinez to become their second signing of the summer. Obviously he wants to implement a back three system and one of either of them will perfectly complement the slow Maguire, Lindelof and Varane. United saw an initial £37m bid rejected by the Dutch champions but are hopeful a deal can be done soon.
