An agreement has been reached for the transfer of Lisandro Martinez 🔴🇦🇷 ||
— Manchester United (@ManUtd)Martinez, a left-sided centre-back who can also play defensive midfield, would join Feyenoord's Tyrell Malacia and unsigned Christian Eriksen at Old Trafford. Ajax's duty to notify the Amsterdam stock exchange of significant transactions led to the accord's announcement.
Diogo Dalot shared his thoughts on the team's new boss during United's two-week summer tour of Thailand and Australia. "I really like the dynamic that he shows, not just in training but in general," said the full-back.
"He is very demanding, and pays a lot of attention to detail, which is good - small details can make a difference in the long term. We always train not just [regarding] what we need to do with the ball but also without the ball. I think we can obviously improve and be good at it," he added.
Meanwhile, Manchester United fans took to Twitter to celebrate the confirmation of an agreement with Lisandro Martinez, with several fans welcoming 'The Butcher' to Old Trafford. Here's a look at some of the reactions:
