Ajax fleeced Man Utd for more than double what Arsenal originally offered for the centre-back. They're VERY happy with the deal. MUFC AFC
Arsenal were also heavily interested in Martinez and the report states that Ajax have ‘pulled off a real feat’ considering the first bid from the Gunners was less than half what United eventually paid.
Former Red Devils defender Jaap Stam recently outlined why Martinez is a good signing for United this summer. “I have become a fan of his. I think he’s a fantastic guy, with a good temperament and a winning mentality. For trainers, those are great players to work with.” “Back in the day, defenders in England couldn’t be big enough. Two metres was good, also to be able to head away a lot of balls. Now most clubs and coaches want to play football. That doesn’t mean you don’t have to defend.
