BID ACCEPTED: Man United begins the planned massive clearout with their best player, agree to sell him to Real Madrid as Vinicius set to join Man United in return
Manchester United were far from their best against Viktoria Plzeň in the UEFA Europa League but they still managed to secure a 2-1 victory.
A brace from Rasmus Hojlund on the night was enough to help the Red Devils get past their opponents on the night.
It was an important victory for Ruben Amorim who had seen his team lose the two games before this against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest, albeit in the Premier League. This result should provide a major boost for the club.
As Amorim continues to work to improve the performances on the pitch, the Red Devils will be on the lookout for someone to replace Dan Ashworth to help them with transfers off the pitch.
Now, as per Defensa Central, Man Utd are willing to agree a shock exit for Lisandro Martinez with Real Madrid interested in signing him.
This sale would truly come as a shock because over the past few seasons, the Argentinian is one of the very few players at the club who has covered himself in glory with his performances and has been a steady presence at the back whenever fit.
The report claims that Man Utd are willing to agree to a £41.3m sale for the player, the fee does not reflect the player that Lisandro Martinez has become. In fact, even the club spent £56.7m in bringing him to the club from Ajax a few years ago.
At this point, this report will thus have to be taken with a grain of salt. One would assume that Manchester United are unlikely to sell one of their best performing assets at a price lesser than what they bought him for.
It remains to be seen if there is any movement on this transfer saga’s front in the coming months. Fans would hope Lisandro stays at the club for a long time and let’s wait and see how it plays out.
