Lisandro demands Ajax sell him to Man Utd - this week

Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez will do what it takes to move to Manchester United.

United boss Erik ten Hag is eager for a reunion with his former Ajax defender.

And for his part, Martinez is also keen to see the move happen.

The Mirror says Ajax players believe Martinez is 'willing to go to war' with the club to get his move, with the 24-year-old losing patience with the Amsterdam-based side.

He could reportedly be willing to refuse to train in order to help push the move through, with it looking ever more likely he won't play for Ajax again.

Ajax had hoped to trigger a bidding war between United and Arsenal, who are also interested in Martinez, but the defender has made it clear he wants to reconcile with ten Hag - with who he enjoyed plenty of success in Holland - in Manchester, and is pushing for a deal to be agreed in the next 48 hours.
