Manchester United completed the signing of Lisandro Martinez on Wednesday afternoon. The Argentine international has signed for the club in a £56.7m move from Ajax. “It’s an honour to join this great football club.
I’ve worked so hard to get to this moment and, now that I’m here, I’m going to push myself even further,” he told the club’s website. “I’ve been lucky enough to be part of successful teams in my career and that’s what I want to continue at Manchester United.
There will be a lot of work to get to that moment, but I firmly believe that, under this manager and coaches, and together with my new team-mates, we can do it. “I want to thank Ajax and their fans for all the support they gave me.
I had an unbelievable time there but feel the moment is right to test myself in another environment. Now I am at the perfect club to do this.” A lot has been made of Martinez’s height.
