Manchester United go after Martinez

According to a recent report from Manchester Evening News, Manchester United are ready and willing to sign Lautaro Martinez.

The belief is that they would sign him on a lucrative contract in an attempt to beat the likes of Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain to his signature, with Sport being used as a citation in the report. Martinez to Barcelona has been a rumour that has been doing the rounds for months on end now, to the point where it seems almost unfathomable to consider him going elsewhere.

Now that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has seen the benefit of bringing in a strong foreign forward through Edinson Cavani, though, he may start to branch out even more.

United certainly have an awful lot of potential in terms of their finances, because even if they don’t want to completely push the boat out, they’re capable of negotiating a decent fee for someone like Martinez – or, at least, they should be.
