New Manchester United signing Lisandro Martinez's weekly wages revealed - Reports

Manchester United have completed the signing of Argentine defender Lisandro Martinez from Ajax for a fee of £55 million. Following the confirmation of the deal, reports of the compensation package agreed for the player have made their way to the public, thanks to English outlet The Sun.

Martinez played under new United manager Erik ten Hag at Ajax and was eager to rejoin his manager in the Premier League. In return for this, Manchester United agreed to a handsome remuneration package for the Argentine, who will now earn a respectable wage at Old Trafford.

According to reports, the Argentine will cost United £6.2 million per year for the duration of his 5-year deal with the club. This breaks down to about £120,000 per week, making him the joint 10th highest earner, on par with the likes of Fred and Victor Lindelof.

The Argentine defender, who was nicknamed “the butcher of Amsterdam” was one of the most coveted defensive players heading into the summer transfer window. To secure his services, the Red Devils had to fight off interest from Premier League rivals Arsenal. He is regarded as an important part of the project underway at Old Trafford.

While Martinez is currently in the same pay bracket as Fred and Lindelof, fans will hope that he can have a more lasting impact than the pair. The new Red Devil will hope he can lead Manchester United back to glory, and if his performances are convincing, he might even be due a raise soon.
