Manchester United 'will have to pay Ajax more than £115m' for transfer targets Lisandro Martinez and Antony this summer... with the Dutch champions 'set to play hardball' with former boss Erik ten Hag

New Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will have to pay at least £115m if he wants to sign Lisandro Martinez and Antony from former club Ajax, according to a report.

United have repeatedly been linked with two of the stars of Ten Hag's Eredivisie-winning teams of the last two seasons and face competition from Arsenal, who have already made a second offer of £34m to Ajax for Argentina defender Martinez.

The Dutch giants believe they are financially strong enough to hold firm on their £45m valuation of Martinez and asking price of around £70m for Brazil winger Antony, The Sun has said.
