Lisandro Martinez ‘delighted by Arteta’s suggestions and strategies’ at Arsenal notwithstanding Manchester United's involvement
Lisandro Martinez, a Manchester United target, is said to be impressed with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta's plans and ideas.
According to Express Sport, the Argentine international is a huge fan of Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. According to the report, Manchester United is in the hunt for the coveted center-back.
According to Express Sport, the Gunners have already had at least one offer for the 24-year-old turned down by Ajax. They also claim that the Red Devils have made a bid for the defender worth around £35 million plus a further £4.3 million in add-ons.
The Dutch Eredivisie champions, however, have yet to respond to either of the offers as they seek to retain their star player.
Martinez, who was named Ajax's 'Player of the Year' in the 2021-22 season, is also said to be looking for a new club.
Because of the presence of Erik ten Hag, who managed him at the Johan Cruyff Arena, Manchester United may have an advantage over Arsenal in acquiring the Ajax defender.
However, according to Express Sport, the defender is a huge fan of Mikel Arteta's work, which is why the Gunners are still in the race. The defender is said to be impressed with what Arteta has done since taking over at the club during a difficult period
Which club, Manchester United or Arsenal, is the best fit for the Argentine defender?
For several weeks, Arsenal and Manchester United have been vying for Lisandro Martinez's signature. Because neither team can offer Champions League football, neither has an advantage over the other in the pursuit of Martinez.
Looking at the respective squads of both clubs, the Red Devils appear to be a better fit for the 24-year-old.
At the back, Arsenal has Ben White, Gabriel Magalhaes, Rob Holding, William Saliba, and Pablo Mari to choose from.
Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Eric Bailly, and Phil Jones are the options at Old Trafford.
Martinez will almost certainly have to deal with a lot of competition for places if he moves to Old Trafford. The defender will have a manager in Ten Hag who already knows him if he joins United.
