As well as strengthening their defence with the signing of Lisandro Martinez, previous quotes from the latest Manchester United signing show they have bolstered their midfield options as well.
Erik ten Hag took a step closer to adding a third new face to his squad on Sunday after United announced a deal with Ajax had been agreed for the transfer of Martinez.
The Argentine will cost the club an initial £46.8million, rising to £55.3m. When the transfer is complete, Martinez will join left-back Tyrell Malacia and playmaker Christian Eriksen as new signings at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag has pushed for the left-footed centre-back to bring balance and strength in depth to his back line.
