Lisandro Martinez’s promise to Manchester United
By db-admin
DBasia.news – Finally, the Red Devils have reported on the official arrival of Lisandro Martinez. The Argentine player promised his success to Manchester United fans.
Manchester United have actually completed the transfer of Martinez since more than a week ago. He was brought in from Ajax Amsterdam for a fee of 55 million euros.
Martinez is also Manchester United’s third signing of the summer. Previously, the British giants announced the arrival of Tyrell Malacia and Christian Eriksen.
Manchester United has awarded Martinez a five-year contract. They also list an additional one year extension option.
“It is an honor to join this great football club. I have worked very hard to reach this moment and now I am here to push myself even further,” Martinez told the club’s official website.
“I’ve been lucky enough to be part of a successful team in my career and that’s what I want to continue at Manchester United.”
Although only 24 years old, Martinez has already won a number of prestigious titles. This is not only shown at club level, but also at the national team.
Martinez successfully presented four prestigious titles during three seasons strengthening Ajax. He was also a member of the Argentina national team which won the 2021 Copa America and Finalissima.
“There will be a lot of work to get to that moment. But I firmly believe that under the manager and coaching staff and together with our new team mates, we can do it.”
Martinez’s presence is one solution to the fragility of Manchester United’s defense from last season. Moreover, the player can play in a number of positions including defensive midfielder.
But the presence of Martinez will also have an impact on the Manchester United squad. A number of unused defenders will almost certainly be released.
