Things are changing at the Theater of Dreams. Slowly but surely. Already former United midfielder Paul Pogba has arrived in Turin ahead of signing his contract with Juventus which means the end to his six-year spell with the Red Devils this summer following the expiration of his contract.New players are needed to bring that new snap, that freshness for the new manager Erik ten Hag. So far, only Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord – a defender by vocation – has arrived to Old Trafford but Manchester United are close to signing one more Eredivisie player in the ongoing transfer window.Ten Hag is eager to bring in one of his ‘engines’ from the Johan Cruyff Arena, and to indulge their new first team manager, the Red Devils made an improved 50 million euros bid for Lisandro Martinez.🚨 – Lisandro Martínez can triple his salary and has made it clear that he wants to make the next step in his career. Erik ten Hag considers him as an important building block in the development of his new Manchester United.

Ajax are waiting to see if Arsenal make a rival bid as they look to stir up an auction between the Premier League sides.The Amsterdamers decided to wait if another hugely interested English top-tier outfit will make their approach with a more lucrative offer – the Dutch champions want to wait and see if the Gunners will show up with more money to snatch the player and finalize the deal.Manchester United have made an improved 50 million euros bid for Ajax defender Martinez but the Dutch side are yet to accept the offer.The new offer is 6 million euros more than United’s last proposal and is thought to be close to Ajax’s valuation – with the Dutch side mindful that the 24-year-old is desperate for a move to England.Martinez remains open to joining Arsenal if they meet Ajax’s valuation. The 24-year-old is evolving fast and has already earned seven caps for his national team of Argentina.##NAJAVA_MECA_6497556##Meanwhile, United have also been offered the chance to sign RB Leipzig striker Brian Brobbey. The Dutch youth international came through Ajax’s academy but left on a free transfer to the German club last summer before being loaned back to the Johan Cruyff Arena in January. Playing under ten Hag in Ajax, Brobbey scored seven goals in 11 Eredivisie games which impressed the 52-year-old. Leipzig want 20 million euros for the 20-year-old but there is also an option of him making a permanent return to Ajax.
