Agent explains why Lisandro chose Man Utd over 'great club' Arsenal

The agent of Lisandro Martinez admits his former Ajax coach Erik ten Hag was key to him choosing Manchester United last summer.

Lisandro also had an offer from Arsenal, but eventually signed for United.

Bas Schothorst, one of Martinez's representatives at Essel Sports, has explained his client's thought process in the summer.

Speaking to Voetbal Primeur, Schothorst said: "[Martinez's departure] was a process of several months.

"We had contact with various top clubs and, in the end, Ten Hag's presence at United played an important role. That makes sense.
