On 19 October last year, Ajax came up against Haaland and Dortmund in the Champions League group stage and absolutely blitzed the Bundesliga outfit 4-0.

You guys have the clear case of Maguire. In Argentina we know that he is a young prodigy along with Senesi and Romero. He is a very positional and intelligent player. Martinez can play a key role in defense for United." He hasn't shown anything he can do yet." But they have now accepted defeat and a £46 million transfer is said to be nearing closer. Martinez has also been linked to Arsenal and has told Ajax of his desire to play in the Premier League. Haaland had destroyed so many teams and always seemed to find the net in the Champions League.

Martinez’s introduction to the United backline will be pivotal in Ten Hag implementing his philosophy. He had the fourth-best past success rate for central defenders across Eredivisie last season, which is particularly impressive given that only his teammate Daley Blind averaged more pass attempts on average. That bettered the success rate of each of Varane, Maguire and Lindelof at United last season.

The Argentina international is confident on the ball, good in the air for a player of 5ft 10in and will offer some much-needed competition for United’s captain. That causes issues in possession, but also out of it, with United potentially vulnerable to runs down the left channel, between left-back and centre-back. Every one of the six centre-backs currently on United’s books is right-footed – and that has caused a long-standing issue. That versatility is a major asset for Ten Hag, but there is perhaps another reason why the Dutchman was so keen to sign him. Nevertheless, there is – finally – something to get excited about for the United manager and the club’s fans. De Jong is no closer to becoming a United player and Ten Hag will have to continue planning without him as the pre-season tour reaches Melbourne.

Supporters are eager to see the 24-year-old at Old Trafford next season as Man Utd chase a transfer.

It has received a number of comments from United supporters who are keen for Martinez to become their second signing of the summer.

United saw an initial £37m bid rejected by the Dutch champions but are hopeful a deal can be done soon.

The Dutch club are said to want about £46m for the Argentina defender, who has also been approached by Arsenal.

Monza are also said to be in negotiations with Cavani’s national team-mate Luis Suarez, 35, who is a free agent after being released by Atletico Madrid this summer.

United executives John Murtough and Richard Arnold were in the Dutch capital earlier this week trying to get the deal done, the paper adds.
