Manchester United finally confirm the £55m signing of Lisandro Martinez as Erik ten Hag raids his old club Ajax to land the 'Butcher of Amsterdam' - and pile more pressure on captain Harry Maguire

Manchester United have completed the £55million move of Lisandro Martinez from Ajax to continue their summer rebuild under Erik ten Hag.

Ten Hag had targeted a new centre-back in this transfer window and worked with the Argentina international in his previous three seasons at Ajax.

United and Ajax quickly came to an agreement over the £55m fee earlier in July and Martinez has signed a five-year deal worth £120,000 a week with an option for an extra year.
