Manchester United are expected to wrap up a deal for Lisandro Martinez, with the Ajax centre-back set to move to the Red Devils in the near future.

Martinez’s future has been the subject of speculation in recent weeks, with Arsenal and Manchester United both believed to be interested in his signature.

A recent report claimed that Untied boss Erik ten Hag, who managed Martinez at the Dutch outfit, was confident of convincing the defender to move to Old Trafford.

According to Italian journalist Rudy Galetti, Man United are now closing in on the 24-year-old’s signature, with only the ‘final paperwork’ pending to be done.

Galetti claims that a move to Old Trafford is ‘only a matter of time’, with the Argentine set to follow Tyrell Malacia and Christian Eriksen this summer.

Martinez has scored one goal and registered four assists in 36 appearances for Ajax in all competitions, playing a crucial role in their league title triumph.
