Martinez, nicknamed ‘The butcher of Amsterdam’, has reacted to signing a five-year deal and the club has now released the first pictures of the defender in the new home and away kit.

Manchester United officially reveal kit numbers for Lisandro Martinez ... (The Peoples Person)

The pair represent the latest arrivals at the Theatre of Dreams, after Tyrell Malacia, with the club confirming the signing of the duo earlier this week.

The 30-year-old is perhaps more remembered among Premier League fans for his no.23 shirt during his spell at North London club Tottenham. The jersey was however handed to Portuguese maestro Bruno Fernandes. Eriksen wore the no.8 at Ajax and wears the no.10 for the Denmark national team. The playmaker who has the number 8 tattooed on his arm, ditched the number 18 in favour of his more preferred number. The number has formerly been worn by Jaap Stam, who also came from the Eredivisie and is considered a legend of the club by many, someone Martinez will surely look to emulate in his time at United. The former Ajax defender wore the no.21 at the Dutch club under Ten Hag and is now set to take on a different albeit more prominent number.
