Ajax Center-Back Lisandro Martinez Sends Message To Erik ten Hag Amid Transfer Links To Man United

Man United are reported to be rivaling Arsenal for the transfer of Ajax center-back Lisandro Martinez.

It’s claimed that the player himself does not have a strong preference as both clubs would satisfy his ambition of playing in the Premier League.

Still, United might have an advantage as Martinez clearly enjoyed working under Erik ten Hag in the previous three seasons.

“I am so proud of what I have achieved at Ajax and under Ten Hag,” the 24-year-old said, as quoted by the Mirror.

“I grew as a player and became an Argentinian international, thanks to my development at Ajax. And I even got to wear the captain’s armband for my country.”

He also recorded a message for the Old Trafford-bound manager after Ajax confirmed his departure.

“With you, I learned a lot about football. You made me a better player. You leave like a champion. You deserve it,” Martinez said about the opportunity Ten Hag has received at Man United.

In short, Martinez seems clearly keen on playing under Ten Hag – the question is if United manage to agree terms with Ajax.
