Di Maria was a £59m flop and Veron's failings led to a sweary Fergie rant while Tevez and Heinze were loved by fans but left under a cloud and 18-year-old Garnacho is a big prospect... Man United's Argentines as Lisandro Martinez seals £55m switch

Manchester United have secured the third signing of the Erik ten Hag era after they agreed a £55million fee with Ajax for the defender Lisandro Martinez.

A versatile footballer who is strong aerially despite only being 5ft 9in and composed playing passes out of defence, Martinez could slot in either at centre-half or as a defensive midfielder.

The 24-year-old will also become the eighth player from Argentina to pull on the red shirt. Martinez has made seven appearances for his country and is likely to make many more.

We take a closer look at the previous Argentine footballers to have turned out for United and how they fared.
