Martinez’s Man Utd future uncertain, Arsenal eye Toure

Manchester United defender, Lisandro Martínez

Argentina defender Lisandro Martinez’s future at Manchester United is uncertain, while Arsenal and United are monitoring Newcastle United attacker Bazoumana Toure, according to transfer reports compiled by BBC Sport.

Martinez, 28, could see his stay at Old Trafford come to an end when his current contract expires next summer, following reported criticism of the club’s hierarchy.

Sky Sports reported that doubts have emerged over whether Manchester United will extend the defender’s contract.

The uncertainty surrounding Martinez comes as United and Arsenal reportedly keep tabs on Toure, the 20-year-old Ivory Coast attacker who joined Newcastle United this summer.

According to CaughtOffside, both Premier League clubs are closely monitoring the youngster despite his recent move to St James’ Park.

Meanwhile, England winger Jadon Sancho could have a potential route back into football in Spain, with Getafe interested in signing the 26-year-old as a free agent.

DAZN, via Mundo Deportivo, reported that Getafe are exploring ways to meet Sancho’s salary demands as they consider a move for the winger.
