Despite only being a Manchester United player since the summer, Lisandro Martinez is reportedly attracting interest from Real Madrid.
Defensa Central have reported that Real are interested in bringing the 25-year-old to La Liga. Madrid already have David Alaba, Eder Militao, Antonio Rudiger and Nacho on their books, but it's claimed Los Blancos could be keen on Martinez as they look to freshen up their options.
The Argentina international has formed a solid partnership at the heart of the United defence with Raphael Varane. Martinez has started all 14 of United's Premier League fixtures so far this season.

Elsewhere, ESPN Netherlands report that Erik ten Hag has told United to sign Cody Gakpo in January to replace Cristiano Ronaldo. The 23-year-old has impressed for PSV Eindhoven so far this season, and is currently showcasing his skills on the global stage at the World Cup with the Netherlands.
The report states that one of the alternatives on United's shortlist is AC Milan's Rafael Leao, who has yet to agree a new contract with the Italian club.
Both Gakpo and Leao have already opened their accounts at this year's World Cup, with the former scoring in both his side's outings so far and Leao bagging the crucial third in Portugal's win over Ghana.
