6 centre-backs signed in 8 seasons, almost £250m spent: Man United will be hoping Lisandro Martinez is the one

Lisandro Martinez is on the verge of becoming a Manchester United player with the Red Devils announcing an agreement with Ajax.

The 24-year-old Argentina international is set to become the sixth centre-back to move to Old Trafford in the last eight seasons under four different managers.

2015/16 — Marcos Rojo (£16 million)

2016/17 — Eric Bailly (£30 million)

2017/18 — Victor Lindelof (£31 million)

2018/19 — none

2019/20 — Harry Maguire (£80 million)

2020/21 — none

2021/22 — Raphael Varane (£41 million)

2022/23 — Lisandro Martinez (£57 million)

Total amount spent: £245 million
