Top European clubs, including Barcelona, have shown interest in Lisandro Martinez from Manchester United. However, transfer insider Ben Jacobs mentioned on The United Stand that Manchester United wants him to remain at the club.
Martinez, who has won the World Cup and Copa America, is also an FA Cup winner with Manchester United. He has had a notable career in the Premier League and Dutch Eredivisie thus far.
The main concern for Martinez at Old Trafford is his health as he is recovering from another injury and is expected to return soon.
At 28, Martinez is no longer seen as a prospect. With Harry Maguire’s future uncertain and Matthijs de Ligt facing his own injury issues, Manchester United is more focused on acquiring defensive talent rather than selling players.
Martinez is recognized for his skill in ball progression from the center back position and his determination, able to compete against top strikers in the Premier League.
Manchester United supporters will be relieved to know the club does not plan to sell him this summer and will be hoping for his quick recovery while also wishing that clubs like Barcelona do not sway his decision.
