Fury builds up within the fanbase as United star gets dropped

Erik Ten Hag was clear with Manchester United about who he wanted as his preferred center-back addition in the summer, and the club went all out to sign his former player Lisandro Martinez from his former club Ajax ahead of rival club Arsenal.

Martinez was a dominant feature in Erik Ten Hag's Ajax team as the pairs ruled over the Eredivisie for three consecutive years and were quick to build on their relationship at United as Lisandro slotted seamlessly into the left half of central defense alongside Varane on the right.
