Defender search continues
Erik ten Hag can not afford to rely too closely on Jonny Evans whereas Lisandro Martinez’s minutes must be managed fastidiously as a consequence of his poor harm file within the final two seasons.
That’s the reason the 20-time English league champions had been in talks with former Atletico Madrid defender Mario Hermoso who’s at the moment a free agent having left Madrid after the conclusion of the earlier marketing campaign.
