Despite growing interest from other clubs, United are focused on extending the contract of Argentina defender Lisandro Martinez.
Real Madrid have recently been credited with an interest in the Argentine defender.
Along with Los Blancos, PSG were also believed to be thinking of making a move for the former Ajax defender.
With both European giants reportedly preparing moves for the 26-year-old, it has prompted the Red Devils to prioritise tying him down to a long-term deal.
Lisandro Martinez undoubtedly possesses the ability to play as ball-playing defender at an high level, instantly making him a rare asset in modern football.
There’s no suggestions that the Argentinian is keen on the move, but interest from clubs like Real Madrid can be hard to resist for any player.
Moreso, considering the contrast in stability at United and Real Madrid.
Speaking on the club’s plans to secure the centre-back’s future, a well-placed source told CaughtOffside: “Lisandro is a key player for our team.
“We have long-term plans for him and intend to secure them by extending his contract”.
The 26-year-old is expected to play a huge part for Amorim and his back three system which should bring the best out of the former Ajax man.
Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite may be the ideal replacement, should United look to sell Martinez.
The Englishman’s performances for Everton and England have caught the eye of numerous potential suitors in the Premier League and across Europe.
