Man United finally officially announced the signing of Lisandro Martinez, who is Erik ten Hag's third signing of the summer.

“Lisandro is an outstanding player who will bring further quality and experience to Erik [Ten Hag]’s squad," Murtough said. Martinez has joined United on a five-year contract, with the option of an additional year. Martinez, 24, is a left-footed centre-back and he made 36 appearances under Ten Hag at Ajax last term.

Metro Sport takes a look at three ways Erik ten Hag could line Manchester United up for the 2022/23 season with Lisandro Martinez:

But with Chelsea and Tottenham currently employing 3-4-3 formations, Ten Hag may want to start those games with a back three, where he can match them man for man and deploy all three of his star centre-backs. There are two big question marks in regard to personnel, in the form of Frenkie de Jong and Cristiano Ronaldo, with the former wanted at United but unwilling to join and the latter at United but wanting to leave. But it is still not clear where exactly the versatile 24-year-old will play for United, as while a natural centre-back, he is also capable of filling in as a defensive midfielder or left-back.

Manchester United's third summer signing Lisandro Martinez reveals how he developed the killer mentality that earned him his move to Erik ten Hag's side.

You have to fight for food, you have to fight for your family, you have to fight for your team. “I want to train right now, with the team. It’s not easy to think that, at some point, I’ll play for Manchester United. It’s difficult.” When you start to play football, it’s like you don’t think for sure [you are going to make it as a professional].” However, what underpins the Argentinian's ability is a killer mentality. We will play as a team.”

New Manchester United signings Christian Eriksen (left) and Lisandro Martinez (right) have been allocated the No 14 and No 6 shirt numbers respectively at Old Trafford Lisandro Martinez will take the No 6 shirt at Manchester United while fellow new signing Christian Eriksen will wear No 14 at Old Trafford. Lisandro Martinez will take Paul Pogba's old No 6 shirt at Manchester United while Christian Eriksen succeeds Jesse Lingard in wearing No 14 after the pair joined Erik ten Hag's rebuild at Old Trafford

The pair represent the latest arrivals at the Theatre of Dreams, after Tyrell Malacia, with the club confirming the signing of the duo earlier this week.

The 30-year-old is perhaps more remembered among Premier League fans for his no.23 shirt during his spell at North London club Tottenham. The jersey was however handed to Portuguese maestro Bruno Fernandes. Eriksen wore the no.8 at Ajax and wears the no.10 for the Denmark national team. The playmaker who has the number 8 tattooed on his arm, ditched the number 18 in favour of his more preferred number. The number has formerly been worn by Jaap Stam, who also came from the Eredivisie and is considered a legend of the club by many, someone Martinez will surely look to emulate in his time at United. The former Ajax defender wore the no.21 at the Dutch club under Ten Hag and is now set to take on a different albeit more prominent number.
