He was a key figure for Ajax last season, making 36 appearances in all competitions and helping them to the league title and a runners-up finish in the Dutch Cup. Ten Hag managed Martinez for three seasons at Ajax after the player moved to the Netherlands from Argentine side Defensa y Justicia in May 2019. Martinez made 118 appearances in all for the Dutch club. Capped seven times by Argentina, he would bolster United's defence, which conceded 57 goals last term - the most among the top six. He could also give the manager an extra option in midfield after the departures of Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic.
