Manchester United are making an obvious Lisandro Martinez decision

Top European clubs like Barcelona have been rumored to be interested in stealing Lisandro Martinez away from Manchester United, but transfer insider Ben Jacobs reported on The United Stand that Man United’s desire is to have the Argentinian international stay.

A World Cup and Copa America winner, Martinez is also an FA Cup winner for the Red Devils and has enjoyed a very successful career in both the Premier League and Dutch Eredivisie at the club level to this point.

Honestly the only thing holding back Martinez at Old Trafford is his health, as the man nicknamed Licha is currently working his way back from another injury, set to return soon.

There have been transfer rumblings around Martinez, who is now 28 and no longer a prospect. But with Harry Maguire’s future uncertain and Matthijs de Ligt dealing with more injury concerns than even Licha, Manchester United are in more of a position to buy center back talent rather than sell.

Martinez is an elite progressor of the ball at the center back position and an intelligent bulldog, so to speak, who has the acceleration and moxie to battle with any top striker in the Premier League.

Manchester United fans will be happy to hear that the club are not interested in selling him this summer transfer window, though they will hope for both his health and that a club like Barcelona does not change his mind.
