Manchester United have made a €43million (£37m) offer for Ajax centre-back Lisandro Martinez as they continue to pursue targets familiar to Erik ten Hag.

United have turned to Martinez having initially prioritised his Ajax teammate Jurrien Timber, who is now expected to stay with the Dutch champions.

Martinez, 24, is a left-footed centre-back who also played as a defensive midfielder for Ten Hag at Ajax in 2019-20. United had shortlisted Villarreal defender Pau Torres and David Carmo of Braga but Ten Hag favours options affiliated with Ajax or Dutch football.
