Lisandro Martinez can't wait to get started at Manchester United after his transfer from Ajax was officially completed on Wednesday. United agreed a fee of £46.8million, rising to £55.3m, for Martinez on a five-year contract, plus an extra optional year.
The 24-year-old was spotted arriving at Carrington on Tuesday along with Christian Eriksen and the pair could make their first appearances for the club against Atletico Madrid or Rayo Vallecano this weekend.
Erik ten Hag's side reached an agreement to sign the Argentine defender two weeks ago, though the deal was still subject to a medical before it could be formally announced.

Martinez is the club's third summer signing after Tyrell Malacia and Eriksen. United also intend to recruit a midfielder and a back-up goalkeeper, while they are also open to signing a right-back before the window closes.
Speaking after his transfer was finalised, the 24-year-old said: "It’s an honour to join this great football club. I’ve worked so hard to get to this moment and, now that I’m here, I’m going to push myself even further.
“I’ve been lucky enough to be part of successful teams in my career and that’s what I want to continue at Manchester United. There will be a lot of work to get to that moment, but I firmly believe that, under this manager and coaches, and together with my new team-mates, we can do it.
“I want to thank Ajax and their fans for all the support they gave me. I had an unbelievable time there but feel the moment is right to test myself in another environment. Now I am at the perfect club to do this.”
