Subsequent to completing last season with their least Premier League point all out (58), Martinez will join United as they go through a remaking. They've previously marked left-back Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord and free-specialist Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen, who left Brentford.
The 2021-22 season denoted United's most memorable association crusade without an uplifting objective differential in over 30 years.
Ten Hag has been given the obligation of coordinating a turn of events, and for some individuals, that involves making a playing persona.

Martinez, a ball-playing focus back, is viewed as a possibly vital securing in Ten Hag's journey to make United more calm with the ball.
