Man Utd" aims to sign a new contract with L. Martinez © AP

Last summer, Lisandro Martinez, who arrived at "Manchester United", instantly became one of the most important defensive pillars.

The successful game of the 25-year-old Argentine seems to have convinced the club's leaders, who are preparing to sit down at the negotiating table with representatives of the world champion in the near future, journalist Fabrizio Romano reported.

Although Martinez's current contract is valid until 2027, "Man Utd" wants to raise the player's salary and fend off possible interest from other clubs.

This season, the defender played 45 matches, scoring one goal.
